Need help on how to store data

[geeo]

Hi,

I'm new to iphone dev and even if i read some books and do some coding, i'm face to a problem.

My app is GETing data from a webserver with a JSON file. But I'm wondering what is the best way to store datas on the iphone to allow an offline access :
- copy the json file on iphone an read datas from it
- use sqlite
- use coredata
- something else ?

I'm struck for now cause I don't know what's the best way.

TIA

How much data are you saving? What type of information does it contain? Will the user want to search it?

The simplest way is probably a .plist. If whichever library you're using turns the JSON into an NSDictionary or NSArray then writing it to disk as a .plist takes a single command.

If you want the data to be searchable -- especially if there's lots of it -- then SQLite is probably you're best bet.

I'd suggest keeping clear of CoreData until you've got a little more experience.

No, there is not much data :

A team and XX players (with XX less than 50), each player having a few stats (less than 20).

I tried to go with objects :

- Application load :
--- connect to webserver to get the json file
--- create a new instance of my team object (containing a mutable array of player objects)
--- init it with data

But I can't access to it in my application views

Ok i find it for the object problem :

Proto7AppDelegate *mainDelegate = (Proto7AppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];

Btw, have you some tutorial for the use of plist to store persistent data on the iphone ?
