Question

my application’s model is made of a NSMutableArray containing some other NSMutableArrays each containing a certain number of NSDictionaries, is there any way to store the main array deeply (I mean storing it and all of its content) without using core data since at the moment I still don’t know how to use it? At the moment I know how to use NSUserDefaults, is there a way to deeply save the array using NSUserDefaults?

Answer 1

If the array and all of its contents (including the dictionaries) contain only Property List compatible objects you can just put it into the NSUserDefaults.

Property List compatible classes are:

• NSString
• NSDate
• NSData
• NSNumber
• NSValue
• NSArray
• NSDictionary
