iOS Programming - JSON

[cotton31]

Hi,

I'm very new to iOS development so apologies if this is vague...

I need to grab a JSON feed and download the contents into a local database.

What sort of database should I use - SQLite or CoreData?

Is there a tutorial that covers this end to end? I can find tutorials covering each different part but was hoping for something more 'complete'!

Thanks!

OK so I've read that Core Data is a bit like a wrapper for SQLite...

It's definitely got to be a SQLite database (over plist files) as the data is quite complex - why would I not use SQLite directly and use CoreData?

I'm familiar with SQL, so I'm wanting to loop through items in my JSON feed (which I've now parsed and is sitting in an NSDictionary) and do things like INSERT INTO etc. but it doesn't seem like it works like that with CoreData?

That's brilliant, thanks very much!
