Reasons to use CoreData rather than just fetching the data with a get request and saving it in a local variable

I'm working on a new iOS app and I keep reading things online such as, "All apps that use backends should use CoreData". I haven't been able to find to many reasons backing up this logic. Are there any reasons that I am not realizing for why I should use CoreData in an application if the content is constantly changing and I don't need to sort or access the data offline? I have gotten CoreData to work, I just don't fully see the benefit be is ease or performance. Would anyone mind shedding some light on this topic?

You don't have to use it.

Some reasons you might use it in the case you've described:

  • If you have a lot of data, too much to keep in memory on the device
  • If you want undo–redo support
  • You want support for fancy querying
