How can I get an encoded string from NSData in Cocoa?

Question

In .NET, I can use Encoding.UTF8.GetString(string str) or any other flavor of Encoding , to get the string representation of a byte array. Does Cocoa contain similar functionality out-of-the-box, or do I need to write some stuff to make the conversions myself?

Answer 1

You use initWithData:encoding . Eg:

[[NSString alloc] initWithData: dataObj encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding]
