Question regarding data pulled from XML

[espinallab]

I'm new to this iPhone development and kind of confuse.

I see a lot of iphone apps that uses data from xml and display them on UITableView etc.. Do they usually save the parsed data into a SQLite database or they just handle the data from the NSMutableArray directly?

It might be a stupid question, please don't start cursing me out for not knowing this. I just want to get it clear in my head while thinking on a future project as I learn the language.

Thanks.

There's no one answer here. If the XML came dynamically from a server that could constantly change, I would probably not write it to SQL at all. Or I might cache it in SQL with a time stamp. It all depends on what your app is doing with the data.
