Storing an array of strings using Realm's RLMArray

Question

Does anyone know how you can use Realm to store an array of strings? I\'m trying to map the following response into Realm correctly:

\"zoneInfo\": {
    \"ta

The RealmString approach is good, but you end up with a new RealmString every time you update the values, leaving a ton of unused objects laying around if you don't clean them up.

I would suggest using something like:

fileprivate let separator = "\u{FFFF}"

class Person: Object {
    fileprivate dynamic var _nicknames: String?
    var nicknames: [String] {
        get { return _nicknames?.components(separatedBy: separator) ?? [] }
        set { _nicknames = newValue.isEmpty ? nil : newValue.joined(separator: separator) }
    }

    override static func ignoredProperties() -> [String] {
        return ["nicknames"]
    }
}
