Framework class names need prefix
Reported by Scott Guelich | February 6th, 2009 @ 11:01 PM | in ObjectiveResource 1.1
It appears that the library classes have non-prefixed names like Connection and Response, which could easily collide with classes having the same name in the iPhone project that the framework is embedded within.
Since ObjC has no namespace support, the standard practice with frameworks is to use a common prefix for all classes. OR might be a good choice, in which case Connection -> ORConnection, Response -> ORResponse.

Good point Scott! We should probably have taken care of this before announcing 1.0. Since we are building a number of different Objective* tools (ObjectiveRecord, ObjectiveSync) I was thinking about using the prefix "ORS" for ObjectiveResource. Would that work?

Of course! Any prefix not used by Apple would work, and I don't know of anyone else using ORS.

+1 also...
the class "Connection" clashes with a private class in Apple's MessageUI framework in iPhone OS 3.0
We decided to drop the feature that would use MessageUI because we depend on ObjectiveResource too much at this point
