Re: [Pharo-users] What is the idiomatic way to store data in pharo?
Steve, You could try with NeoJSON[1] and serialize the image as bytecodes (or urls to pictures in the web). Is pretty simple and gives you a plain and portable representation of your Quote of the Day data. Grafoscopio, the prototype I made, uses NeoJSON to store its notebooks. It's also a pretty well written library that has Sven's quality mark and you can learn a lot from it.

The package is present in Pharo by default. Easy and fast. It is documented in one of the Pharo book. Another way is JSON but I don't know it. Sven can speak about it. Its advantage over Fuel, the file format is portable. Hilaire - http://drgeo.eu -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
Re: [Pharo-users] What is the idiomatic way to store data in pharo?
Hi Steve Some ways I would do it, given what you have described: 1. Store in the image itself. An ordered collection can be used to store the your MOTD objects and iterate over them with the #do:, #select:, etc methods. For images I would store them on the file system and use a URI from your objects to point to it. 2. SQLite (https://github.com/pharo-rdbms/Pharo-SQLite3). 3. If you wish to distribute this then maybe a central server the your client can pull the MOTD objects from. Something running Teapot talking to SQLite3 or even Postgres via Sven’s excellent P3 (https://github.com/svenvc/P3). 4. Something I was thinking of looking into more is John Aspinall’s ReStore for Pharo (https://github.com/rko281/ReStoreForPharo).
