What is the best way to store a thousand objects?

I am making an app where i need to store different products. What I have done now is making a Product class, and different instances of that class. This works great. But I plan to make over 1000 instances of products and surely hard coding it this way would not be the smartest choice. If you hard code the products, you won´t be able to make changes to any products for any future updates, I´ve heard. How should I store the instances of Products?

Try using cloud database like Parse, and download the data to your app when required. www.parse.com

Hi Jason Teo! I have now saved 197 objects in Parse, but when i try to retrieve them, I only get 92 of them. I am pretty sure there is nothing wrong with my code, because when at the time i had around 50 saved objects, I managed to retrieve all of them. Do you know if that has something to do with the 30 request per second limit?
