Currently, this project is not maintained. I am working on a different non-Core Data approach, see github link below. At some point in the future, I may or may not resurrect this project.

Gedcom.framework @ github

Below is original prohject description kept for reference.

At the moment, this is an unfinished application.

Project goals:

• lossless translation of Gedcom data from text to Core Data objects & vice versa
• this is done via an intermediate object called GCNode. Parts of the Core Data model are implemented, but remain in flux.
• unit tests to confirm that all aspects of Gedcom data remain consistent.
• interface for manipulating all parts of Gedcom 5.5 specification
• A simple GUI is implemented for displaying individuals (double clicking will open a window that right now just lists events and can show the gedcom)

Hopefully it will also be possible to create a stand-alone Gedcom framework for others to use.

Disclaimer: Since this is a work in progress and at a very early stage, do NOT use it on your primary gedcom files, they WILL be corrupted if you save.
