Question

What is the difference between NSData and NSMutableData?

Was it helpful?

Solution

From the Stack Overflow tag-wikis:

The NSData class is an apple class for holding generic data. Often used when reading/writing from and to files, and the internet.

NSMutableData (and its superclass NSData) provide data objects, object-oriented wrappers for byte buffers.

OTHER TIPS

NSData is fixed after creation.

NSMutableData, as the name implies, allows operations that change the contents (appendBytes:, appendData, setData:...).
