RestKit not mapping Images from JSON - ios

I'm not able to map the Images from my JSON response correctly, and I can't figure out why.
Here is error: "W restkit.object_mapping:RKObjectMappingOperation.m:244 Failed transformation of value at keyPath 'images'. No strategy for transforming from '__NSArrayM' to 'Images'"
Here is JSON:

//[mapping hasMany:#"images" withMapping:[Images mapping]];
[mapping hasOne:#"video" withMapping:[Video mapping]];
}];
return objectMapping;
}
Images.h

[mapping mapKeyPathsToAttributes:
#"height", #"height",
#"width", #"width",
#"caption", #"caption",
#"url", #"url",
nil];
}];
return objectMapping;
}
Everything else is mapping correctly except images. I don't know if it has to do with it being an Array but it only having one result, so its not necessarily an array? And if its not, then how I would write that... I'm just not totally clear on why its not mapping.
As you can see I tried both hasMany: and hasOne: mapping and neither worked, I got the same error.
I tried using NSLog(#"url image: %#", feedLocal.images.url);' but get(null). Even though I thought it would work becauseNSLog(#"href web: %#", feedLocal.links.web.href);` works perfectly for my links href.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks so much!

In Feed.h you need to change your images property to be:
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *images;
And you should set the mapping to hasMany:.

Parsing nested json in iOS using Mantle

I'm trying to parse data received from a service using the framework Mantle. The json has nested data and I am having problems to parse it. The json is like the following:
{
"sections": [
{
"title": "title1",
"level": 1,
"content": [
{
"type": "type1",
"text": "text1"
}
],
"images": []
},
{
"title": "title2",
"level": 2,
"content": [
{
"type": "type2",
"text": "text2"
},
{
"type": "type9",
"text": "text9"
},
{
"type": "type4",
"text": "text4"
},
{
"type": "type6",
"text": "text6"
}
],
"images": [
{
"src": "http://cvbcvcv",
"caption": "caption"
}
]
}]
}
The class that I am using is:
// MainObject.h
#interface MainObject : MTLModel <MTLJSONSerializing>
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *sectionsArray;
+ (NSValueTransformer *)sectionsArrayJSONTransformer;
#end
#interface Section : MTLModel <MTLJSONSerializing>
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *title;
#property (assign, nonatomic) NSString *level;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *content;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSArray *images;
+ (NSValueTransformer *)contentJSONTransformer;
+ (NSValueTransformer *)imagesJSONTransformer;
#end
#interface Content : MTLModel <MTLJSONSerializing>
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *type;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *text;
#end
#interface Image : MTLModel <MTLJSONSerializing>
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *src;
#property (strong, nonatomic) NSString *caption;
#end
and
//MainObject.m
#implementation MainObject
+ (NSDictionary *)JSONKeyPathsByPropertyKey
{
return #{
#"sectionsArray" : #"sections",};
}
+ (NSValueTransformer *)sectionsArrayJSONTransformer
{
return [MTLJSONAdapter dictionaryTransformerWithModelClass:[Section class]];
}
#end
#implementation Section
+ (NSDictionary *)JSONKeyPathsByPropertyKey
{
return #{
#"title" : #"title",
#"level" : #"level",
#"content" : #"content",
#"images" : #"images",};
}
+ (NSValueTransformer *)contentJSONTransformer
{
return [MTLJSONAdapter arrayTransformerWithModelClass:[Content class]];
}
+ (NSValueTransformer *)imagesJSONTransformer
{
return [MTLJSONAdapter arrayTransformerWithModelClass:[Image class]];
}
#end
#implementation Content
+ (NSDictionary *)JSONKeyPathsByPropertyKey
{
return #{
#"type" : #"type",
#"text" : #"text",};
}
#end
#implementation Image
+ (NSDictionary *)JSONKeyPathsByPropertyKey
{
return #{
#"src" : #"src",
#"caption" : #"caption",};
}
#end
Then, when I make the call to the service and try to parse the json with the following code, being responseObject the data obtained from server, the data appears nil:
for (NSArray *array in [responseObject valueForKey:#"sections"]) {
NSArray *seccionArray = [MTLJSONAdapter modelsOfClass:[Section class] fromJSONArray:array error:nil];
}
I have tried a lot of ways to parse this data well, but the app always crashes or returns nil. I hope you can help me to solve this
Why can't just one line using NSJSONSerialization?
NSMutableDictionary *yourArray = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];
Then you fetch what you want from your array...

How to parse this repsonse in restkit?

I am confused completely to parse this kind of response in restkit. I am using this link but i am not able to understand how to parse this response.Any help would be appreciated.
“groups”: {
"group1": [
{
"email": "blake#restkit.org",
"favorite_animal": "Monkey"
},
{
"email": "slake#restkit.org",
"favorite_animal": "Donkey"
}
],
"group2": [
{
"email": "sarah#restkit.org",
"favorite_animal": "Cat"
},
{
"email": "varah#restkit.org",
"favorite_animal": "Cow"
}
]
}
I am Using Below mapping.
#interface GroupResponse : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *Groups;
+ (RKObjectMapping *)mapping;
#end
#implementation GroupResponse
+ (RKObjectMapping *)mapping {
RKObjectMapping *objectMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[self class]];
[objectMapping addPropertyMapping:[RKRelationshipMapping relationshipMappingFromKeyPath:#“groups” toKeyPath:#“Groups” withMapping:[GroupData mapping]]];
return objectMapping;
}
#end
#interface GroupData : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *groupName;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *arrPersons;
+ (RKObjectMapping *)mapping;
#end
#implementation GroupData
+ (RKObjectMapping *)mapping {
RKObjectMapping *objectMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[self class]];
objectMapping.forceCollectionMapping = YES;
[objectMapping addAttributeMappingFromKeyOfRepresentationToAttribute:#"groupName"];
[objectMapping addPropertyMapping:[RKRelationshipMapping relationshipMappingFromKeyPath:#“(groupName)” toKeyPath:#"arrPersons" withMapping:[Person mapping]]];
return objectMapping;
}
#end
#interface Person : NSObject
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *email;
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *favAnimal;
+ (RKObjectMapping *) mapping;
#end
#implementation Person
+ (RKObjectMapping *)mapping {
RKObjectMapping *objectMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[self class]];
[objectMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:#{#"email" : #"email",
#"favorite_animal" : #"favAnimal"}];
return objectMapping;
}
#end
Everytime arrPersons is nil. How to do proper mapping in this case.
This attribute:
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *arrPersons;
should actually be a mutable array, not a string type:
#property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *arrPersons;
because the nested JSON array can't be converted into a string and your mapping indicates that it should be processed into an array of Person objects.

How to parse the category object recursively in parsed JSON

Hi I am getting parsed nested JSON, which has many levels. I am able to get at first level value.
How could i use same model class to fetch all nested JSON values using recursion.

This is a fast written code directly in this editor without any IDE, so possible some syntax errors :)

RestKit RKRelationshipMapping doesn't working

)
what i'm doing wrong? I try to add one more responseDeskriptor, for "salads" it work's but he put array in to main {}; not to "salads" = []; Thank you.
The property
#property (nonatomic, retain) SSaladsBody *salads;
should actually be a relationship, so it should be NSSet, not SSaladsBody.
Other than that, things look ok. If you still have issues you should turn on trace logging and see what processing is done around the relationship contents.

Can't map nested RestKit object

I have a problem, can't map a nested object of json. The problem is with the 'capacities' key.
This is the error:
restkit.object_mapping:RKMappingOperation.m:830 Did not find mappable relationship value keyPath 'capacities'
I know that the problem is with the mapping itself, but just can't figure what:
RKObjectMapping *capacityMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Capacity class]];
[capacityMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:#{ #"capacityText" : #"capacityText",
#"priceDescriptionText" : #"priceDescriptionText",
#"priceText" : #"priceText" }];
RKObjectMapping *colorsMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[Colors class]];
[colorsMapping addAttributeMappingsFromDictionary:#{ #"ID" : #"idNum",

#"device.supportPagesLinks" : #"supportPagesLinks",
#"device.whatsInTheKit" : #"whatsInTheKit" }];
[deviceDataMapping addRelationshipMappingWithSourceKeyPath:#"capacities" mapping:capacityMapping];
[capacityMapping addRelationshipMappingWithSourceKeyPath:#"colors" mapping:colorsMapping];
[deviceDataMapping addPropertyMapping:[RKRelationshipMapping relationshipMappingFromKeyPath:#"responseError"
toKeyPath:#"responseError"
withMapping:errorMapping]];
[[RKObjectManager sharedManager] addResponseDescriptor:[RKResponseDescriptor responseDescriptorWithMapping:deviceDataMapping
method:RKRequestMethodGET
pathPattern:#"devices/:boneID"
keyPath:nil
statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)]];
This is the DeviceData class:
#interface DeviceData : NSObject
#property (nonatomic) ResponseError *responseError;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *idNum;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *name;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *additionalFeatures;

#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *supportPagesLinks;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *whatsInTheKit;
#property (nonatomic) NSArray *capacities;
#property (assign, nonatomic) NSInteger boneID;
#end
This is the Capacity class:
#interface Capacity : NSObject
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *capacityText;
#property (nonatomic) NSArray *colors;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *priceDescriptionText;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *priceText;
#end
This is the Colors class:
#interface Colors : NSObject
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *idNum;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *name;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *colorHex;
#property (copy, nonatomic) NSString *imageURL;
#end
This is the json:
{

"device": {

"additionalFeatures": "additional features text",
"capacities": [
{
"capacityText": "16GB",

},
{
"ID": null,
"Name": null,

"imageUrl": "iphone_5s_black.png"
},
{
"ID": null,
"Name": null,
"colorHex": "#616065",
"imageUrl": "iphone_5s_black.png"
}
],
"priceDescriptionText": “iPhone 5S",
"priceText": "750$"
},{
"capacityText": “32GB",
"colors": [

"supportPagesLinks": [
{
"linkText": “restore",
"linkUrl": “restore.pdf"
}],
"whatsInTheKit": "what inside the kit text"
}
}
Because your response descriptor has a nil key path and you use device.xxx in all source key paths of the deviceMapping you need to have an explicit relationship mapping so you can specify the source and destination key paths:
RKRelationshipMapping *capacitiesMapping = [RKRelationshipMapping relationshipMappingFromKeyPath:#"device.capacities" toKeyPath:#"capacities" withMapping:capacityMapping];
[deviceDataMapping addPropertyMapping:capacitiesMapping];
