             Summary: Generate Xcode Core Data model file
                 Key: THRIFT-4227
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4227
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Cocoa - Compiler
            Reporter: Andrew McKnight
            Priority: Minor


As an Apple developer, I'd like to be able to store objects defined in my Thrift spec using the Core Data object relational database system.

To do this, it is best to generate the XML document that defines the Core Data model. Developers may then use tools like Xcode or mogenerator to generate the actual classes in source code.

This approach is preferable to directly generating the source code that attempts to subclass NSManaged object, as we can avoid keeping up with language, compiler and Core Data API changes that affect how that source code would be written. By simply stopping with the XML definition, we let Xcode et al handle all the other compatibility concerns.
