Related: I binned off Core Data for Big Mail 2, and instead have been using the phenomenal GRDB by @groue

Not only is my app now faster and less buggy, but it’s so much easier to reason with. No weird managed contexts and elaborate dances to pass stuff between threads. Just simple, safe, Swift structs.

(Also, the documentation is INSANE) github.com/groue/GRDB.swift

@phill my number 1 (and maybe only) wish for this WWDC is Apple to sherlock GRDB by bringing everything you described to Core Data (nothing personal @groue!). I enjoy using Core Data but it requires so much effort to get it right…

Follow

@alpennec @groue or heaven forbid Apple contributes! 😅

Plus why wait? A great alternative to Core Data already exists!
