I just went through this in my app. Like Mark said, you do need to connect to

I put a "ping.txt" on the server. It has one word "true". Apple does the same
thing. Though they call it something else "serviceAvailable" or something like
that and it has one word in it "available"

SQLite is very feature-rich, but if you don't need the relationality
provided by a full-featured RDBMS it can be like swatting flies with a
grenade
Thanks for the extra comments everyone. Glad my thought process was
correct, databse is overkill, saving every text change is too much,
etc, etc.
As I said I will not be able to really do anything until next week.
Thanks for mentioning the closeField command guys. I will check it

And don't forget my telnet technique. Telnet will tell you if there is a basic
connection without "actually" connecting with a protocol of any sort. So it
doesn't suffer from any of the built in timeouts that web protocols must have
to work properly.

I tried reading an "LSON" format, but it's not straight forward. It's easier to
simply arrayDecode the LSON and work with the array. And since you can convert
the array to a memory sqLite database and back again with my handy dandy
handlers, everybody wins!

On the subject of sqLite/memory databases and preferences/data persistence,

make sense to do the following..
1. open an empty in memory database

I'd be a little wary of that "< 400" result though. You may (or may not)

Use case is a major driver though. If you have no need to hand edit a
file, then LSON is an efficient and easy way to store the data. It also
has the benefit of being able to easily store binary data if needed.

I think there's a misunderstanding here: LSON *is* the standard LC
encoded array.

This is where serialization comes in, collecting all the disparate
