Constants

NSASCIIStringEncoding

Strict 7-bit ASCII encoding within 8-bit chars; ASCII values 0…127 only.

Discussion of [NSString NSASCIIStringEncoding]

These values represent the various character encodings supported by the NSStringclasses. This is an incomplete list. Additional encodings are defined in String Programming Guide for Core Foundation (see CFStringEncodingExt.h); these encodings can be used with NSString by first passing the Core Foundation encoding to the CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding function.

Example of [NSString NSASCIIStringEncoding]

// original string
NSString *str = @"ÁlgeBra";

// convert to a data object, using a lossy conversion to ASCII
NSData *asciiEncoded = [str dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding
                         allowLossyConversion:YES];

// take the data object and recreate a string using the lossy conversion
NSString *other = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:asciiEncoded
                                        encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
// relinquish ownership
[other autorelease];

// create final capitalized string
NSString *final = [other capitalizedString];

Example of [NSString NSASCIIStringEncoding]

NSString* dataStr = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

Example of [NSString NSASCIIStringEncoding]

NSString *msg = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"tell me \"where\"\n"
                  "is\n"
                  "wrong"];
NSData *theData = [msg dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSString* theString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:theData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

BOOL isValid = [NSJSONSerialization isValidJSONObject:theString];
NSLog(@"Value %d %@",isValid, theString);
