Data Persistence in Swift: Beyond UserDefaults

<p>Data persistence is a crucial aspect of many iOS and macOS applications. While&nbsp;<code>UserDefaults</code>&nbsp;is a convenient way to store small pieces of data, more complex apps often require more robust and flexible data persistence solutions. In this article, we&#39;ll explore various techniques for data persistence in Swift, going beyond&nbsp;<code>UserDefaults</code>&nbsp;to handle more extensive and structured data storage requirements.</p> <h2>Why Go Beyond UserDefaults?</h2> <p><code>UserDefaults</code>&nbsp;is suitable for storing simple settings, user preferences, and small amounts of data like user tokens or flags. However, it has limitations when it comes to handling larger datasets or structured data objects. Additionally,&nbsp;<code>UserDefaults</code>&nbsp;doesn&#39;t provide advanced querying and searching capabilities, making it less suitable for complex data retrieval scenarios.</p> <p><a href="https://blog.stackademic.com/data-persistence-in-swift-beyond-userdefaults-4c8de634a923"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
