To be honest, I never really got comfortable with Core Data. It always seemed to be very complex to do anything real with it, and there was a lot of boilerplate to set it up. (That was 5+ years ago, though. Maybe it's gotten simpler ;-) One of the nice things about CouchDB-like databases is that everything is JSON, which is a kissing cousin of a PList, so you can treat your data like property-lists if you want. Or alternatively, the CouchModel class lets you treat data items as objects with custom properties, which can often make the code cleaner. But the choice is yours, and you can in fact mix the two approaches. (I did a presentation about this a few months ago: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4h90TgWan0>. Just wherever it says "Couchbase Mobile", think "TouchDB".) —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
