Storing and downloading Data in iOS Applications

I am a bit new to iOS Development and I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction regarding an application I am working on.

I am currently working on an application that will be displaying product lists and categories. The list is updated on a weekly basis (one every week).

I am now trying to decide two things:

1- What's the best method of storing this data, I am looking for a way that will allow me to replace the data in the application once every week. 2- Is it going to be beneficial to use CoreData? Note that I Only have Product Category, Product and Product Information entities.

Appreciate your support.

I would use Core Data. If you haven't worked with Core Data before, learn it. It's a great framework.

I would use Core Data. Because I know Core Data and am used to work with it. But this is clearly very much like using a chainsaw to cut a slice of bread.

As I understand, you're not familiar with Core Data. Maybe it's not the right tool for the job considering the learning curve.

In your case I would simply use JSON files as provided by the server.

That said, if your looking in Core Data anyway, any store will do, either atomic, XML or SQLite. The first two will load the whole data set in memory and queries will be done in memory as well. SQLite provides the benefits usually associated with databases, with a slightly increased complexity. A chainsaw.
