That's CoreFoundation, not Foundation. CoreFoundation is plain C and relatively small in feature set. Foundation is Objective-C and much larger. It's a lot easier to work with the Foundation Objective-C API. They both manipulate the same data structures (or nearly the same with zero-cost bridging) but Foundation is far less verbose and a little more dynamic (no need for manual buffer allocations and configuring callback structures).
