Core Data syncing

Question

is there a way to automatically sync my Core Data Model with a server (preferably REST)?

Thanks

I answered a similar question here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5035132/how-to-sync-iphone-core-data-with-web-server-and-then-push-to-other-devices/5052208#5052208 — chris, Feb 19 '11 at 18:39

Apple has shared their Sync Services Framework it is documented here:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SyncServices/SyncServices.html

This section is specifically related to syncing managed objects:

http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/SyncServices/Articles/UsingCoreData.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005232

As for which style of data transfer is used, I'm not sure if it using REST, I don't see it immediately obvious.

Typically the data transferred to and from REST services doesn't include large binary objects or complex data structures. If REST is a requirement you may need to do something custom, but search through the available documentation you might find everything you are looking for.

Thanks for your answer. The only problem is, that Sync Services isn't available on the iPhone, as I've read recently. :-( — Stefan, Apr 13 '09 at 09:27
