is there a way to automatically sync my Core Data Model with a server (preferably REST)?
Thanks

Apple has shared their Sync Services Framework it is documented here:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SyncServices/SyncServices.html
This section is specifically related to syncing managed objects:

As for which style of data transfer is used, I’m not sure if it using REST, I don’t see it immediately obvious.
Typically the data transferred to and from REST services doesn’t include large binary objects or complex data structures. If REST is a requirement you may need to do something custom, but search through the available documentation you might find everything you are looking for.
