Platform developers needing a tool to persist or cache data on a single device
About Core Data
Use Core Data to save your application’s permanent data for offline use, to cache temporary data, and to add undo functionality to your app on a single device. To sync data across multiple devices in a single iCloud account, Core Data automatically mirrors your schema to a CloudKit container. Through Core Data’s Data model editor, you define your data’s types and relationships, and generate respective class definitions. Core Data can then manage object instances at runtime to provide several features. Core Data abstracts the details of mapping your objects to a store, making it easy to save data from Swift and Objective-C without administering a database directly. Core Data’s undo manager tracks changes and can roll them back individually, in groups, or all at once, making it easy to add undo and redo support to your app. Perform potentially UI-blocking data tasks, like parsing JSON into objects, in the background.

Ditto
Ditto is the only mobile database with built-in edge device connectivity and resiliency, enabling apps to synchronize without relying on a central server or constant cloud connectivity. Through the use of CRDTs and P2P mesh replication, Ditto's technology enables you to build collaborative, resilient applications where data is always available and up-to-date for every user, and can even be synced in completely offline situations. This allows you to keep mission-critical systems online when it matters most.
Devices running Ditto apps can discover and communicate with each other directly, forming an ad-hoc mesh network rather than routing everything through a cloud server. The platform automatically handles the complexity of discovery and connectivity using both online and offline channels – Bluetooth, peer-to-peer Wi-Fi, local LAN, WiFi, Cellular – to find nearby devices and sync data changes in real-time.

IndexedDB
IndexedDB is a low-level API for client-side storage of significant amounts of structured data, including files/blobs. This API uses indexes to enable high-performance searches of this data. While web storage is useful for storing smaller amounts of data, it is less useful for storing larger amounts of structured data. IndexedDB provides a solution. IndexedDB is a transactional database system, like an SQL-based Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). However, unlike SQL-based RDBMSes, which use fixed-column tables, IndexedDB is a JavaScript-based object-oriented database. IndexedDB lets you store and retrieve objects that are indexed with a key; any objects supported by the structured clone algorithm can be stored. You need to specify the database schema, open a connection to your database, and then retrieve and update data within a series of transactions. Like most web storage solutions, IndexedDB follows the same-origin policy.

CloudKit
CloudKit is a cloud framework that enables developers to store app data in iCloud and keep it synchronized across devices and the web. It offers automatic syncing across several devices and web platforms. By organizing apps in containers, CloudKit ensures each app's data remains siloed, preventing entanglement with other apps. Specialized databases and zones allow for easy separation of app information by access type or function. Developers can configure fields in private CloudKit databases to be encrypted, ensuring data protection in storage and during transport. The CloudKit Console provides a web-based control panel to view server activity, manage containers, maintain database schemas, and edit test data throughout the development lifecycle. It also offers telemetry charts to measure performance, reliability, and usage, as well as logs for analyzing app performance while maintaining user privacy.
