	Games - Core Foundation

Core Foundation (also called CF) is a Mac OS X framework and API.

CF provides:

Primitive types for data (raw bytes, Unicode strings, numbers, calendar dates, UUIDs) and collections (arrays, sets, dictionaries)
Application preferences management (CFPropertyList, Preferences Utilities)
XML parsing
Bundle handling
File system I/O (CFReadStream, CFWriteStream, CFURL)
Network and internet I/O (CFReadStream, CFWriteStream, CFURL, Socket Name Server Utilities, URL Access Utilities)
Endianness translation (Byte Order Utilities)
Interprocess communication (CFMachPort, CFNotificationCenter)
Run loops
Very basic graphical user interfaces (CFUserNotification)

Much of the Foundation Kit is implemented using Core Foundation, and many of the basic types are toll-free bridged. Unlike Foundation, Core Foundation's API is in C, not Objective-C.
