RestKit 0.10 Object Mapping with JSON for iPhone - iphone

Question

I've spent many hours reading the documentation and tried out various sample projects etc. but I just can't solve my problems. As Restkit changed many APIs a few days ago much of the information provided and the tutorials is useless. The stuff that works does not help me with my problems.
In General, I don't understand when to use /person or /person.user or /:user or /person/user when doing the object mapping. I havent found anything about how to access certain JSON entries. Mybe someone can explain this to me.
I want to create objects out of my JSON Response. The Problem is using objects or arrays, nested in an object.
Here is the JSON that causes problems:
{
"result":
{
"persons":
[
{
"age": 20,
"name": "alice",
"user":
{
"id": 208727870
}
},
{
"age": 25,
"name": "bob",
"user":
{
"id": 308427890
}
}
]
}
}
For this sample I need to do the object mapping -> but how?
This mapping works:
{
"result":
[
{
"age": 20,
"name": "alice",
"user":
{
"id": 208727870
}
},
{
"age": 25,
"name": "bob",
"user":
{
"id": 308427890
}
}
]
}
RKObjectMapping* userMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[RKTUser class]];
[userMapping mapKeyPath:#"id" toAttribute:#"userID"];
RKObjectMapping* statusMapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:[RKTStatus class]];
[statusMapping mapKeyPath:#"age" toAttribute:#"age"]
[statusMapping mapKeyPath:#"name" toAttribute:#"name"]
[statusMapping mapRelationship:#"user" withMapping:userMapping];
statusMapping.rootKeyPath = #"result";
// user seems only to be a placeholder .. it does not matter, which string i write instead "user"
[objectManager.mappingProvider setObjectMapping:statusMapping forResourcePathPattern:#"/:user"];
What I finally want to do:
{
"result":
{
"id_str": "208727870",
"result_value_str": "123456",
"persons":
[
{
"age": 20,
"name": "alice",
"user":
{
"id": 208727870
}
},
{
"age": 25,
"name": "bob",
"user":
{
"id": 308427890
}
}
],
"friends":
[
{
"age": 18,
"name": "norton",
"user":
{
"id": 208457120
}
},
{
"age": 41,
"name": "edward",
"user":
{
"id": 378829810
}
}
]
}
}
Has someone an advice for me? (tutorials, links, hints…)
Best regards,
