GarageStorage is designed to do two things:
- Simplify Core Data persistence, to store any kind of object
- Eliminate versioning Core Data data models, or the need to do xcdatamodel migrations
The Garage is the main object that coordinates activity in Garage Storage. It's called a Garage because you can park pretty much anything in it, like, you know, a garage. The Garage handles the backing Core Data stack, as well as the saving and retrieving of data. You park objects in the Garage, and retrieve them later.
Any object going into or coming out of the Garage must conform to the Codable protocol. You can add whatever type of object you like to the Garage, whenever you like. You don't have to migrate data models or anything, just park whatever you want!

This library is a direct descendent of the Objective-C version of GarageStorage by Sam Voigt, and this library's Objective-C APIs are mostly compatible with that version.
