Likewise, Couchbase Lite[1] and its predecessor TouchDB[2] are other 
alternative persistent storage libraries (which I happen to work on!) Their 
priorities are different than CoreData — sync is #1, with with object-mapping 
being less advanced. 

If your app needs to be able to sync data with a server or with other clients, 
I think it’s a no-brainer to choose over CoreData, given the limitations and 
poor quality of the latter’s iCloud integration. But they’re good as general 
purpose data stores as well, since they’re open-source, open-format, 
cross-platform, and give you API access to the underlying document-based NoSQL 
database.
