How can I import large sets of data with core data

To import large sets of data with Core Data, you can leverage the new features and capabilities introduced in SwiftData, which is designed to simplify the process of building your app's model layer and persisting it across launches. Here are some key points and sessions that might help you:

1. Custom Data Stores:

   • SwiftData allows you to create custom data stores, which can be useful for handling large data sets. You can implement your own data store using the new Datastore protocol, which supports various persistence backends like JSON files, SQLite, or even remote web services.
   • For more details, you can refer to the session Create a custom data store with SwiftData.

2. Model Container Customization:

   • You can customize your model container to suit your specific needs, including setting the URL of the data on disk and using custom data stores.
   • This is covered in the session What’s new in SwiftData.

3. Efficient Data Handling:

   • SwiftData provides features like indexing and unique constraints to make your queries more efficient, which is crucial when dealing with large data sets.
   • You can learn more about these features in the session What’s new in SwiftData.

4. History Tracking:

   • SwiftData also includes a history API that keeps track of all changes made to the data store, which can be useful for syncing large data sets with remote services.
   • This is discussed in the session What’s new in SwiftData.
