I’m interested in organizing and saving some data to disk without using Core Data, and in particular I want to have a data table consisting of ordered rows with many fields.
I’m thinking the best or easiest way to do this is to have an NSArray of NSDictionarys, where the dictionaries hold the contents for each column/field and the array makes up the “rows” of my data table.
Does this seem like a simple and good approach?
Your approach is fine if your tables are small. For larger tables I would favor NSArray of NSArray. This avoids having to save the column names for each row (smaller saved files) and is closer to the real structure of a table.
