Answer 3

I have not used Core Resource yet, but it may be what you're looking for. It claims to provide (from the project's front page):

1. Easy querying into a webservice, e.g.:

   [Note findAll:$D(@"Buster", @"author", @"createdAt DESC", @"$sort")];

2. Automatic serialization of returned results into a Core Data context

3. Easy resource-based tables using CoreTableController, e.g.:

   [self fetchForRelatedResource:parent withSort:@"lastName ASC"];
