## What it is
ObjectiveRecord is a lightweight ActiveRecord-style wrapper around Apple's Core Data framework for Objective-C. It provides Rails-like class methods for creating, finding, sorting, and deleting managed objects without boilerplate AppDelegate or fetch request code.

## Use cases
- query core data entities with a simple active record api
- create and save managed objects without writing fetch requests
- find records with predicates or dictionary conditions
- sort and limit core data query results
- count entities with aggregation helpers
- work with custom managed object contexts

## When to choose
- you use Core Data in an Objective-C iOS or macOS app and want a concise Rails-like API
- you want to eliminate repetitive NSFetchRequest boilerplate
- you prefer dictionary- or string-based finders over raw predicates

## When to avoid
- your project is in Swift and you want a Swift-native Core Data wrapper
- you need a library under active development with recent releases
- you use a database other than Core Data

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: orm, database
- domain: developer-tools, mobile-development
- platform: -
- tags: core-data, active-record, objective-c, cocoapods, ios, macos
