NSObjectFromString... Any way to do it?
object, objective-c, runtime, string
Solution
No, because objects don't have canonical names or string representations. With a class, there either is a class called "NSWindow" or there isn't. With objects, that correspondence doesn't really apply. If you're looking to serialize an object, check out the NSCoding protocol and accompanying documentation.
Problem
So Objective-C has these nice functions `NSClassFromString()` and `NSProtocolFromString()`, which return a class or protocol from a passed string name. Is there any way to do this with an object?
