Here are the key reasons for using NSOperationQueue vs GCD (Grand Central Dispatch) and vice versa:
NSOperationQueue Advantages
Provides an object-oriented API that allows you to create and manage operations as first-class objects. This makes it easier to configure, prioritize, and manage dependencies between operations.
Allows you to cancel, suspend, and resume individual operations within the queue. With GCD, you can only cancel or suspend an entire queue.
Provides built-in support for operation dependencies, allowing you to specify that one operation must complete before another can start. GCD requires more manual coordination.
Supports operation priorities to control the order in which operations execute. GCD has no built-in priority support.
Provides a KVO-compliant API for monitoring the state of operations and queues. GCD has a lower-level C-based API.
