It's possible so long as you're willing to keep the whole store in memory, and read and write it all at once — which doesn't sound consistent with the REST architecture you're thinking about. See NSAtomicStore, the "programming topics" article at
<http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/AtomicStore_Concepts/>
and the sample at
<http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/HTMLStore/>.
"It is important though to note that the atomic store API does not provide support for integration with client-server relational databases or similar SQL-based stores." That's not pertinent to your question, but I don't want people finding this message in the archives to get their hopes up.
