XIB files are said to contain frozen Objects. What does it mean ? What are frozen objects?
They are really cold.
Saying an “object is frozen” is just another way to say the object is “serialized” or “flattened” or even “marshalled”.
These are all terms for taking the data of an object and storing it in some type of structure (often a file) so that at a later point the exact same object can be recreated by reading the file.
