IOS Boilerplate: A base template for iOS apps

Completely agree. This particular stack of technologies is quite unfortunate, in my opinion. I'd strongly warn against any iOS developer using any one of these libraries, let alone all of them as a foundation.

I don't agree with all of the items listed, but I think JSONKit is a really nice piece of work. What would you use instead? I know there is native support for JSON handling in iOS 5, but 1) I don't know how that stacks up against JSONKit performancewise (if anyone has benchmarks, that would be excellent) - but JSONKit really flies, especially when directly handling raw bytes instead of an NSString and 2) It will take quite some time before iOS 5 is the de-facto standard. FWIW I used to use SBJSON and switched over to JSONKit and have not looked back.

Forgot JSONKit was in there—that is a solid piece of software. I've used it for all of my projects. My bad.

JSONKit is faster.
