OSCPacket

This is an Objective-C Class for encoding and decoding Open Sound Control 1.0 (OSC) messages.

This is an extraction of the OSCPacket Class from the CocoaOSC library to use standalone in projects with other transport methods. I did this to use the OSCMutableMessage class for pushing values through socket.io.

Like this:

#include "OSCPacket.h"
...

OSCMutableMessage *message = [[OSCMutableMessage alloc] init];
message.address = @"/path/to/stuff";
[message addFloat:143.f];
[socket send:[message encode]];

I use SocketRocket for the socket connection.

The purpose of OSC was originally to be a modern replacement for the MIDI protocol in electronic music contexts, but it is also useful outside of music for providing a simple and way of serializing and routing arbitrary messages between multiple processes.

Please consider this library a work in progress. In particular, OSC bundles are currently not supported.
