Cocoa offers builtin serialization for some standard objects like NSNumber, NSString, NSDate or collections like NSArray and NSDictionary (kind of indexed array), which is very easy to handle. There is the possibility to write them into XML Files, so called PropertyLists, or encode them with the NSCoding pattern, which offers serialization for any kind of object. These plist files are a system wide standard on Darwin operating systems, and they are used everywhere.
