I need to include a set of data with my application. It is an Array of
about 1500 objects. Since this may also be used as an iphone app, I
need this to be as fast and efficient as possible.
I want to use NSKeyedArchiver to serialize the data to a file, and
then include that file in the application. The file will then be
loaded at runtime and the Array de-serialized. However, I am not sure
how reliable this is.
1. Would this work across different machines?
2. Is there a risk that apple would change the serialization format,
thus breaking my app in the future? i.e. can / should I expect the
serialization implementation to remain the same?
3. Anyone know if this would work on the iPhone?
thanks for any input...
mike
