class extension、class category、class-continuation category

class extension

• Objective-C 2.0增加了class extensions用于解决两个问题:

1. 允许一个对象可以拥有一个私有的interface,且可由编译器验证。
2. 支持一个公有只读，私有可写的属性。

• extension更像是匿名的category

class category

• category更倾向于写在独立的文件中，之后这样命名“NSView+CustomAdditions.h”，在对应的.m文件中的block块中实现。所以，cagegory更倾向于用于对class进行功能的分离，用于组织类的功能模块。
• extension更倾向于在同一个类的.m文件的最上方写，而其实现则放在该类的implementation block中。
• 如少鸿上次提供的 UIImage+Display.h ，就是对系统的UIImage类的补充

Difference between Category and Class Extension?

• A category is a way to add methods to existing classes. They usually reside in files called "Class+CategoryName.h", like "NSView+CustomAdditions.h" (and .m, of course).
• A class extension is a category, except for 2 main differences:
  • The category has no name. It is declared like this:

  • @interface SomeClass ()
        - (void) anAdditionalMethod;
    @end

• • The implementation of the extension must be in the main @implementation block of the file.
• It‘s quite common to see a class extension at the top of a .m file declaring more methods on the class, that are then implemented below in the main @implementation section of the class. This is a way to declare "pseudo-private" methods (pseudo-private in that they‘re not really private, just not externally exposed).

class-continuation category
