There are two ways to get a NSManagedObjectContext that I know of:
create a UIManagedDocument and ask for its managed object context
access the AppDelegate’s managedObjectContext @property.
What are the trade-offs here? I’ve been doing it the UIManagedDocument way, but I can’t seem to find an explanation anywhere on when/why you’d choose one over the other. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!
Use UIManagedDocument if you’re arranging data in a manner that the user perceives as a “document”‘s worth of data. If you are not, then you could use UIManagedDocument or the AppDelegate mechanism interchangeably.
