How do you choose a local database on mobile (SQLite, Room, Core Data, Realm)?
Answer
Choose based on platform, complexity, and tooling.
Consider:
- Query needs and indexing
- Migrations and schema evolution
- Threading/concurrency model
- Offline sync requirements
SQLite is universal; Room/Core Data add platform tooling; Realm can simplify object storage but adds vendor/runtime constraints.
