We analyze the arguments for using Child contexts and compare them to the benefits of moving to the new model provided by Core Data 2016. You should be able to make a decision if the new Persistent Container is for you.
- [Voiceover] So, before we go into analyzing…the Child Contexts,…let's at least get familiar again…with the different stack architecture.…On the left and on the right side of this…we have two examples of a process that has…two child contexts.…And the important part is just recognize…that there is that relationship…between the child and the parent,…and to understand that there's a merging process…that happens when the lower contexts save,…those changes bubble up to the main context.…In looking at stack two,…we have an even more complex structure.…
This is more performant…but there are complexities that come in…as these child contexts save their changes up.…So, let's look at the positives and the negatives of these.…Positives, it's somewhat performant…as we save large data sets,…there's less blocking on the UI thread,…and what I think is the most important part,…is it's easy to merge.…There's not a lot of complex code,…and so there's not a lot of potential for bugs.…Now, the negatives is it's not as performant…as other architectures,…

11/29/2016This course is meant for the enterprise developer who wants to get up to speed with the latest methods with Core Data. Instructor Jon Bott starts with a review of the basics, explaining the different architectural data models currently in use, the issues that can arise from these different models, and how the latest changes in Core Data 2016 simplify these models. He wraps up with hands-on migration to the new APIs and further tips on leveraging them in iOS 10 and macOS 10.12 apps.
