How to load localization strings from JSON in iOS

Question

I have a service that will return JSON of key/value pairs of localized strings. This data can change, so I was looking to set up a call to this service to get the latest localization strings.

Since, I will not be bundling the localization string with the app.
Should I build the .string file pragmatically on update?
Or insert the records into Core Data?

Just looking for the best solution for performance.

Thank you

Definitely core data, it generally suits all object persistence needs — Daniel Galasko
I actually found this github.com/Lolloz89/DMLocalizedString which uses json files and reads the NSDictionary from memory. A good option, but may go with Core Data because the Api service will be giving a delta change of the localizations. Thanks. — Tim Walsh
