title: Can I use MongoDB as a replacement for CoreData on iOS?
body: <p>I'm just starting to read up on NoSQL technologies such as MongoDB and CouchDB. I'm interested in knowing whether I can use MongoDB or indeed any NoSQL technology as a replacement for Core Data applications.</p>
  
  <p>Core data applications can take a long time to learn and implement, especially if your app is complex and you just want to do some simple add, edits, deletes and queries (CRUD stuff).</p>
  
  <p>Because it looks like JSON and looks like it can run really fast; I'm interested in the implementation of NoSQL over Core Data.</p>
  
  <p>Can I run MongoDB as native?  I did some Google searches but wasn't really able to get the specific answers I'm after.</p>
  
  <p>Such as:</p>
  
  <p>I am not sure what the remit is for NoSQL on iphone platforms, is it supported, would it be denied by the Apple team if I submit an app with NoSQL on it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
