Storing Data Locally On Iphone

I'm developing an iOS app, which is my graduation project.. the app is supposed to serve as a social network, where the user could connect to other users. From the data perspective

Solution 1:

I would go with CoreData & SQLite ... But we haven't all details of your application, thus, I can be wrong.

Solution 2:

You want either SQLite or Core Data. And between those in your particular case, use SQLite. Flexible to work with and you can use the SQL knowledge and SQL data on other platforms. Using SQL both locally and on the server side, should make your development most effective.

Solution 3:

Core Data and archiving. I'm not sure if you make a NSManagedObject conform to NSCoding, but if you can use core data on the client side, and then convert to plists (or your own Custom format) for transport over the wire.

Either way, the goal is to a have a parent model class that can serialize all of it's properties.

I know of the Zsync framework for sync'ing data with local and remote core data stores, however I don't believe it works on iPhone

Solution 4:

I think that a simple and effective approach is to use sqlite3 and it is very familiar for a developer (as he uses to develop with sql language).
