I’m building an app for a blog where a user can save their favorite posts.

When they do, I want to store my object which contains: the post’s URL, title and image URL.

Should I go for UserDefaults (formerly NSUserDefaults) or start with Core Data right away?

    Should I go for User Defaults or start with Core Data right away?

    There are more possibilities here: you can also use plain files or plists, or use sqlite without Core Data. The answer depends on the number of items that you plan to store:

    • If you plan to store 1 to 20 items, user defaults would work fine
    • If you plan to store 20 to 200 items, plain files or plists would work
    • If you plan to store 200+ items, go for Core Data or sqlite, depending on your level of comfort with one of these technologies.
