The Foundation Kit, or just Foundation for short, is an Objective-C framework in the OpenStep specification. It provides basic classes such as wrapper classes and data structure classes. This framework uses the prefix NS (for NeXTSTEP, or NeXT/Sun_Microsystems). Classes{{Expand list|date=March 2017}}NSObjectThis class is the most common base class for Objective-C hierarchies and provides standard methods for working with objects by managing the memory associated with them and querying them. NSString and NSMutableStringA class used for string manipulation, representing a Unicode string (most typically using UTF-16 as its internal format). NSString is immutable, and thus can only be initialized but not modified. NSMutableString is a modifiable version. NSValue and NSNumberNSValue is a wrapper class for C data types, and NSNumber is a wrapper class for C number data types such as int, double, and float. The data structures in Foundation Kit can only hold objects, not primitive types, so wrappers such as NSValue and NSNumber are used in those data structures. NSArray and NSMutableArrayA dynamic array of objects, supporting constant-time indexing. NSArray is an immutable version that can only be initialized with objects but not modified. NSMutableArray may be modified by adding and removing objects. NSDictionary and NSMutableDictionaryAn associative data container of key-value pairs with unique keys. Searching and element addition and removal (in the case of NSMutableDictionary) is faster-than-linear. However, the order of the elements within the container is not guaranteed. NSSet and NSMutableSetAn associative container of unique keys, similar to NSDictionary, with the difference that members do not contain a data object. NSData and NSMutableDataA wrapper for raw byte data. An object of this type can dynamically allocate and manage its data, or it can refer to data owned by and managed by something else (such as a static numeric array). NSDate, NSTimeZone and NSCalendarClasses that store times and dates and represent calendrical information. They offer methods for calculating date and time differences. Together with NSLocale, they provide methods for displaying dates and times in many formats, and for adjusting times and dates based on location in the world. Major implementationsmacOSThe Foundation Kit is part of the Cocoa API. Beginning as the successor to OPENSTEP/Mach, this framework has deviated from OpenStep compliance, and is in some places incompatible. iOSThe Foundation Kit is in the Cocoa Touch API. This framework is based on the macOS Foundation, not OpenStep.{{Citation needed|date=June 2010}} GNUstepThe Foundation Kit is implemented in GNUstep's Base Package. This implementation is mostly comparable (4 classes are missing) and aims to be comparable with both the OpenStep API and later macOS additions. CocotronThe Foundation Kit is implemented in Cocotron, an open-source implementation of Cocoa. PureFoundation[https://code.google.com/p/purefoundation/ PureFoundation] is an open-source implementation of Foundation that implements Foundation by wrapping Core Foundation, just like in Cocoa, rather than create a separate Foundation from scratch like GNUstep and Cocotron. SwiftFoundation[https://github.com/apple/swift-corelibs-foundation SwiftFoundation] is Apple's open-source Swift implementation of the Foundation API for platforms where there is no Objective-C runtime.
