Save/load array of custom objects to plist Objective C

Question

The application is a simple to-do list so I've got a mutable array of custom objects. Here's an interface of the custom class:

    @interface Task : NSObject 
    {
        NSString *name;
        BOOL completeness;
        int priority; 
    }

And I've got a dilemma. What to choose NSCoding or converting the Task into NSDictionary? I mean which way is more efficient?

It's gonna be my first application. And at first i didn't have an idea that i have to save the data. Should i remake the model?

Thanks for any suggestions.

You may want to consider using an `NSInteger` type in place of the int for the priority value. — Stunner, Aug 02 '12 at 10:41

You can use NSDictionary or 2 NSMutableArray's for name objects and priority objects, I didn't worked on NSCoding till now, so i don't no about that. I will suggest you to use NSMutableArray's and corresponding 2 plist files for every Array. If u use NSMutableArray, This Creating Multiple Plist files in document directory..? Link will helpful for you. All the best
