Objectify

Features

Objectify contains following features:

• ObjectEquality: Override isEqual: and hash methods with one line of code
• ObjectDescription: Override description method with one line of code

Object Equality

@implementation Person

equality_properties(Person, firstName, lastName);

@end

The equality_properties macro will generate isEqual: and hash methods, and also add an isEqualToXxx: (isEqualToPerson: in this case) method.

Equality

• Objects are not equal if they are not same class.
• Objects are equal if values of specified properties are all equal.

Hash

The hash algorithm is from Mike Ash's blog post.

Object Description

Override description with one line of code:

@implementation Person

description_properties(firstName, lastName);

@end

The description_properties macro will generate description method which will return formatted string:

<ClassName: PointerAddress, prop0=value0, prop1=value1 ... >
