Introduction

This document contains prototypes for commonly-used snippets of code that you’re likely to use in a program that uses Core Data. In some cases (particularly in cases where a code snippet might be only one or two lines), the document provides guidance rather than explicit code.

This document does not provide an in-depth explanation of the code snippets. You’re expected to be familiar with the Core Data framework and understand how to use the snippets in context. To learn more about Core Data, read Core Data Starting Point.
