Marcus S. Zarraは、再帰的なアイデアを作業バージョンに取り入れようと私に刺激を与えてくれました。このバージョンでは、CoreDataにキーを設定する必要はなく、プロジェクトにそれをカットアンドペーストできます:-)

ここで重要なのは、親エンティティを引数として再帰に渡すことです。これにより、データを入力する必要がある関係を決定できます。両方の機能はとても:dataStructureFromManagedObject
とmanagedObjectFromStructure
オブジェクト辞書と背面にCoreDataから任意のエンティティ・オブジェクトをエンコードし、デコードすることができます。
