Explanation: I’ve found this is very helpful when you need to see a large amount of data and want to organize it and search through it, for example, say you are storing a large amount of retailers and want to see how they are grouped together via their region tag you gave them.

Let me answer the first question you are probably asking: Is there a way to examine the Core Data - SQLite database on my iPhone while I’m debugging. Sadly, at this moment, the answer is no.
