Realm vs CoreData in 2021. Which do you use and why?

1. CoreStore

   1 11 4,049 2.9 Swift

   Unleashing the real power of Core Data with the elegance and safety of Swift

   

   CoreData through CoreStore. Full disclosure: I’m the author of the lib

3. GRDB-ORM

   2 8 31 7.9 Swift

   🚀 GRDB ORM, generate Codable structs with maximum performance

   

   GRDB with https://github.com/Jasperav/GRDB-ORM. I wrote the library. I doubt there is any easier way to manage and use a database since this generates the swift structs and ensures compile time checked queries

4. Realm

   3 50 16,613 7.4 Objective-C

   Realm is a mobile database: a replacement for Core Data & SQLite

   

5. GRDB.swift

   4 40 8,632 8.3 Swift

   A toolkit for SQLite databases, with a focus on application development

   

   I certainly remember how it was at the time GRDB did not support associations 😅. The lib has turned very capable since then: https://github.com/groue/GRDB.swift/blob/master/Documentation/AssociationsBasics.md
