Custom DocumentID & adding complex JSON

[parvez....@decurtis.com]

I do have two questions:

Question 1. Is it possible to append a string to a DocumentID while creating a new document? For example can we have a documentID as ERROR:<DocumentID>? From the CBLDocument's class it seems to me that DocumentID is readOnly so I am looking for a way if we can have custom DocumentID or not.

Question 2. Can we store a complex JSON in a single field of a document?

Thanks

You can have any docID you want. Just call [db documentWithID: @"whatever..."]. If the doc doesn't already exist, it will be created when you save it.

Of course. Just set the property's value to an NSDictionary or NSArray, containing other JSON-compatible objects.
