JTObjectMapping
===============

Inspired by RestKit. A very simple objective-c framework that maps a JSON response from NSDictionary or NSArray to NSObject subclasses for iOS.

Install
-------

### Original method

Copy all files in JTObjectMapping/ into your project.

### CocoaPods

`$ pod search JTObjectMapping`, you should be able to specify the right version in your Podfile. Here's more information about [CocoaPods][].

Usage
-----
Suppose this is a JSON User object response represented in NSDictionary after parsing


{
"create_date" = "1970-01-01T00:00:00+0000";
"p_age" = 30;
"p_childs" = (
Mary,
James
);
"p_name" = Bob;
"p_title" = Manager;
"social_networks" = {
"twitter" = "@mystcolor";
"facebook" = "yourFacebookID";
}
}

Get ready with your JSON use **[NSObject objectFromJSONObject:json mapping:mapping]** to convert.

...
NSDictionary *json = ;

//
// Use +[NSObject objectFromJSONObject:mapping:] to convert
// the NSDictionary into your JTUserTest object
//
JTUserTest *user = [JTUserTest objectFromJSONObject:json mapping:mapping];
...

Define necessary mappings, from a dictionary key to a property keyPath.

// Define the mapping of a nested custom object - JTSocialNetworkTest
NSDictionary *socialNetworkMapping = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"twitterID", @"twitter",
@"facebookID", @"facebook",
nil];

NSDictionary *mapping = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"name", @"p_name",
@"title", @"p_title",
@"age", @"p_age",
@"childs", @"p_childs",
[NSDate mappingWithKey:@"createDate"
dateFormatString:@"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssZ"], @"create_date",
[JTSocialNetworkTest mappingWithKey:@"socialNetwork"
mapping:socialNetworkMapping], @"social_networks",
nil];

Of course you need to define your own User object with corresponding @synthesize properties, and thats all for what you need.

// JTSocialNetworkTest.h

@interface JTSocialNetworkTest
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *twitter;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *facebook;
@end

// JTSocialNetworkTest.m
@implementation
@end

// JTUserTest.h

@interface JTUserTest : NSObject

@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *name;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSString *title;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSNumber *age;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSDate *createDate;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *childs;
@property (nonatomic, strong) JTSocialNetworkTest *socialNetwork;

@end

// JTUserTest.m
#import "JTUserTest.h"

@implementation JTUserTest
@end

For more detailed usage, see **JTObjectMappingTests.m**, will be adding more detailed description soon.

Update Logs
-----------

v1.1.2
- Added auto mapping from underscores to CamelCases (e.g. full\_name -> fullName)

v1.1.1
- Added URL support, thanks to [@TheSantaClaus][] and adding the test
cases nicely.

v1.1
- Refactored JTObjectMapping. Now extending custom mappings are much more cleaner.
- Proper keyPath support.

v1.0.7
- Added JTSetMapping and JTDateEpochMappings, thanks to [@zcharter][] for making this happen!

v1.0.6
- Added experimental keypath support. use `#define JTOBJECTMAPPING_DISABLE_KEYPATH_SUPPORT = 1` to disable it.

v1.0.5
- Fixed nested array causing crash

v1.0.4
- Added auto NSDictionary value to NSObject property mapping with the same key defined
- Fixed false possible JSON response in NSArray use case

v1.0.3
- Add raw array JSON response support

v1.0.2
- Added NSArray support

v1.0.1
- Added NSDate support for mappings
