Members

init()
Implemented by subclasses to initialize a new object immediately after memory for it has been allocated.
class var superclass: AnyClass?
class func classFallbacksForKeyedArchiver() -> [String]
Overridden to return the names of classes that can be used to decode objects if their class is unavailable.
class func classForKeyedUnarchiver() -> AnyClass
Overridden by subclasses to substitute a new class during keyed unarchiving.
class func isSubclass(of: AnyClass) -> Bool
Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the receiving class is a subclass of, or identical to, a given class.
var classForCoder: AnyClass
Overridden by subclasses to substitute a class other than its own during coding.
var classForKeyedArchiver: AnyClass?
Subclasses to substitute a new class for instances during keyed archiving.
var debugDescription: String
Returns a string that describes the contents of the instance for presentation in the debugger.
var description: String
Returns a string that describes the contents of the instance.
var hash: Int
Returns an integer that can be used as a table address in a hash table structure.
var hashValue: Int
The hash value.
static func == (NSObject, NSObject) -> Bool
Returns a Boolean value indicating whether two values are equal.
func copy() -> Any
Returns the object returned by copy(with:).
func hash(into: inout Hasher)
Hashes the essential components of this value by feeding them into the given hasher.
func isEqual(Any?) -> Bool
Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the instance is equal to another given object.
func isKind(of: AnyClass) -> Bool
func isMember(of: AnyClass) -> Bool
func isProxy() -> Bool
Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the instance does not descend from NSObject.
func mutableCopy() -> Any
Returns the object returned by mutableCopy(with:) where the zone is nil.
func replacementObject(for: NSKeyedArchiver) -> Any?
Overridden by subclasses to substitute another object for itself during keyed archiving.
func replacementObject(for: NSCoder) -> Any?
Overridden by subclasses to substitute another object for itself during encoding.
func `self`() -> Self
Returns the instance itself.

class NSCoder
The NSCoder abstract class declares the interface used by concrete subclasses to transfer objects and other values between memory and some other format. This capability provides the basis for archiving (where objects and data items are stored on disk) and distribution (where objects and data items are copied between different processes or threads). The concrete subclasses provided by Foundation for these purposes are NSKeyedArchiver and NSKeyedUnarchiver. Concrete subclasses of NSCoder are referred to in general as coder classes, and instances of these classes as coder objects (or simply coders). A coder object that can only encode values is referred to as an encoder object, and one that can only decode values as a decoder object.
