Core Data introduction

The plist file type is good for simple data. However, it is not suitable for a typical app’s data. iOS apps use Core Data.

As noted above, Core Data is an object design, management, and persistence framework:

• We design objects by using classes, and a design tool
• The framework has objects that enable the full range of data service operations (e.g. fetch, add, and so on), and work nicely with controllers
• And finally, it takes care of persisting (saving, storing) the app’s data
