This article states that it is possible to drop an XML schema document onto Interface Builder to create a Core Data controller. I have found no evidence that this is actually possible. I would be very interested in any automated method for converting an XML schema into a core data model. Is it, in fact, possible to do this?

The original statement: Interface Builder (IB) will even automatically build this format file for you given self-describing data such as an XML Schema.

I believe this was referring to IB's ability to create a GUI for an entity in a data model. If not, please correct my edits.

Maury's kind of gone off into the weeds here. Describing CoreData in terms of EOF will lead to nothing but confusion.

Better tell Apple then. Because they do it too.

I changed a number of items on this page from 'hierarchical' to 'relational', as it seems CD is best suited to the relational model. While it can be stored in an XML file, that XML file does not really, IMO, represent a hierarchy, nor is the serialization necessarily in text format. If I misunderstood, feel free to change it back.

Is it a good idea to radically change an article when one such as yourself is significantly unfamiliar with the topic?

So this is in essence an ORM runtime and API? --soum ^talk 13:48, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This entry is far too technical. What so good about Core Data? I don't understand it. --69.149.215.102 (talk) 04:26, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On the contrary. It's just about right. If you don't understand it then perhaps you're not meant to. Until you take the same courses as the authors.

Many references were add, and cited through the text. Removed original research warning. Roboman1390 (talk) 19:42, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

See if we can populate a table of "key" Core Data classes. Roboman1390 (talk) 20:51, 14 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Surely some comment should be made here about the issues with CD integration in relation to iCloud? I came here looking for info, and none is to be found, which I find strange, as would other users I suspect. I'm no expert —so am leaving for more experienced users here— but there are many sources for cites on devs having massive problems with it, so it should feature here accordingly. Part of me originally thought it was maybe better to leave until after iOS 7/Mavericks (10.9) get released, but the issues themselves are not covered by the WWDC 2013 NDA anyway, as they were ongoing since way before then, so should really be added more or less straight away.
