…ings. this was necessary in my application. I wasn't sure what the desired behavior should be so I left in some options - see the readme for descriptions. by default, it will return an NSNull on failing to decode a string. i felt this was as close to the original behavior and thus most backwards compatible, but really i'd prefer the default to be an exception. i can change this if need be

Any chance of getting this merged into master? It's a significant improvement, and it feels right that this is officially supported. |

For my use case I need to ship around raw bytes that aren't utf8-strings. I added support for this.
The default behavior is almost the same: it attempts to parse the bytes into a utf8-string. However, if it fails, it'll raise an exception instead of either returning nil, not adding a key to a dictionary, or raising an exception when trying to add nil to an NSArray.
Additionally you can specify 3 different behaviors: try to parse as string but fallback on NSData, try to parse as string but fallback on NSNull, or always parse as NSData.
