### Why might I want to create my Core Data models programmatically (and with ProgrammaticCoreData):
66
- CoreData models that were created with Xcode's editor are a pain to ship in packages.
77
- When [linking multiple core data stores](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/coredata/linking_data_between_two_core_data_stores) certain CoreData features are limmited or unavailable. Relationships across data stores for example are not supported (fetched properties can be used instead but have to be updated manually). Programmatic data models can be combined, resulting in one store and the ability to use relationships.
8-
- When [removing optionals from your CoreData code](https://www.jessesquires.com/blog/2022/01/26/core-data-optionals/) propperty types and their optionality in the Xcode data model and the manually created `Entities` have to match. When changing a propperty in either place the other has to be updated manually, which introduces a place for failure. Since ProgrammaticCoreData uses KeyPaths for entity descriptions the compiler spots many of the aforementioned issues. Since creating entity descriptions programmatically allows for the Entity and the Entity Description to live in the same file, spotting issues the compiler did not catch might become a bit easier.

- Xcode's CoreData models are stored as XML files. Reviewing changes can be difficult. A programmatic CoreData model makes reviews simpler

- Data models created with ProgrammaticCoreData are declarative.

- Apple's APIs for creating CoreData models programmatically relies heavily on strings. ProgrammaticCoreData replaces stringy API's with ones utilizing `KeyPath`s.
