If we think of CoreData's role here as simply providing persistent storage then the annotation layer is the interesting bit - binding a persisted model to a view via a query is conceptually similar to Recoil's atoms' support for complex fetching, persistence, and offline support.
- bigtechennui 3y agoThinking of CoreData as simply providing the persistence layer is incorrect. It also provides the schema. CoreData’s object graph management and persistence are separate - you can use CoreData without persistence, but you can’t use it without a schema. The annotations are for defining the CoreData schema – i.e. the necessary piece – rather than relying on a schema definition file as one would prior to SwiftData. There are additional syntactic niceties for SwiftUI binding, but the annotations are very much an ORM.
