Shazron Abdullah commented on CB-1000:
--------------------------------------

Ideally yes, but this is less critical I suppose - the runtime behaviour is undefined, which is a bad thing when two libs add a method with the same name in a class category - you don't know which method is being called (thus buggy behaviour is harder to trace). This won't be a problem (generally) if the categories were from the same lib (which you would expect to have the same behaviour).

We would have to be really complete and reliable, and prefix all category methods here (NSData+Base64 and JSONKit). I'm on vacation this week, but I can tackle this next week. Since this will be a breaking API change (some plugins do use the Cordova JSONKit), it will definitely go in 2.0 not 1.9.1 (if we ever decide to do 1.9.1)
