Useful stuff for iOS developer # 2

Some time ago I read an interesting post dedicated to useful frameworks and libraries for iOS development. With your permission and consent, Coder89 presenting “Useful things for iOS developers, part two”.

"Helpers":

• "NSXtensions" is a collection of Cocoa helpers (categories) for standard Apple Cocoa / UIKit classes, making them more convenient to use.
