JSON2Mantle

Generate Mantle models using JSON files.

##Quick start

Install

$ sudo pip install JSON2Mantle

Usage

$ json2mantle [-h] [--prefix PREFIX] [--author AUTHOR]
                   json_file output_dir

Example

$ json2mantle api_model.json class --prefix XYZ --author "John Smith"

will generate Mantle models according to your api_model.json structure. The output files will be created under output_dir directory, the author name will be John Smith, and the Objective-C classes have the prefix XYZ.

Features

• Supports nested JSON data, which means JSON2Mantle can generate the correct number of classes that the JSON file contains.
• Convert field name like var_name to varName automatically.
• Author name is grabbed from Address Book by default (Python 2 on OS X only).
• Python 2/3 compatible.
• Generated Objective-C files are documented.

Note

• NOT applicable for Mantle 2.0 yet.
• When reserved words in Objective-C appear, it will replace the original name with a prefix model. For instance, if you have a field with the name id, the generated one would be modelId.
• Only supports generating Objective-C files.
• If the input JSON file is an array, it will ask you to give a name for the array items.

TODO

• [ ] reserved words
• [ ] URL type
• [ ] Unit test
