What do you mean by the above sentence? If you have an NSDictionary 
of NSDictionary instances with those containing objects that support 
NSCoding (foundation provided or your own) then you can serialize the 
whole object graph.

To me it sounds like Core Data would be the best using either Binary 
or SQLite store types (the later allows partial loads of your object 
graph... which could help you if do get a very large set of entries 
you have to "manage").

Start here...
