什么是`Cocoa`和`Cocoa Touch` ?

What is Cocoa and Cocoa Touch ? 什么是Cocoa和Cocoa Touch ?

官方文档：

Cocoa(Touch)

What Is Cocoa?

比较官方和正式的说法(或者说定义)是：OS X和iOS平台的应用开发环境，Cocoa对应OS X平台，Cocoa对应iOS平台

Application development environments 应用程序开发环境

"开发环境"该怎样理解呢 ? 我一直认为这不是一个很好的描述, 表述为: 开发的基础库更为合理, 为了能够支持特定语言开发, 方便开发, 这个基础库中定义了Objective-C的运行时环境, 以及基本的数据结构和基类, 如果没有这个framework, 你使用UIKit, AppKit, Foundation编写的代码是必定无法编译运行的.

Include 包含哪些内容

Both Cocoa and Cocoa Touch include the Objective-C runtime and two core frameworks:

• Cocoa, which includes the Foundation and AppKit frameworks, is used for developing applications that run on OS X.
• Cocoa Touch, which includes Foundation and UIKit frameworks, is used for developing applications that run on iOS.
