What in the world are you talking about?
"An important thing to note about all of these formats: *Core Data
may change the way that it uses them at any time*. While it is easy
enough to look under the covers and see what is going on with the
XML and SQLite data formats, you should never modify the data in
these files yourself."
... and the very next paragraph states:
"Using Your Own Data Format
If you already have an existing application format, you can still use
Core Data with it. You will need to read in your file and create a
Core Data object graph. Then, you can exploit all of the advantages
of Core Data, such as the automatic undo/redo support."
As has been said several times, there are two parts to Core Data:
object graph management, and persistence. If you just want to take
advantage of the object graph management, you are free to take care
of the persistence yourself.
