Do I need to use core data for RSS feed app?

Question

I'm trying to build an app (using Swift), it will have different functions (perhaps login, news, small forum, statistic...), but in general, I will have rss feed generated from the web.

My question is - what's the best practice for to store the RSS? Do I need to use core data?

For login, its obvious, I need web server (Parse or whatever), but for feed data?

Answer 1

You don't need CoreData, but it's always recommanded by Apple to use it when saving and handling data (from RSS feeds or else). Also, you should look at Superfeedr (which I created!) rather than poll the feeds yourself.
