RestKit 0.20: How to POST/GET more than 1 managed object without a wrapper class?

Currently I have several instances where I need to send a group of objects to the server:

{
    "things": [
        {
            //object stuff
        },
        {
            //object stuff
        },
        ...
    ]
}

So what I've been doing is defining an intermediate object MyThingPayload

@interface MyThingPayload
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray *things;
@end

And then when mapping

RKObjectMapping *mapping = [RKObjectMapping mappingForClass:NSClassFromString(@"MyThingPayload")];

[mapping addPropertyMapping:[RKRelationshipMapping relationshipMappingFromKeyPath:@"things"
                                                                        toKeyPath:@"things"
                                                                      withMapping:[self entityMappingForManagedThingObject]]];

Seems like unnecessary overhead. Is there a way to do this without the intermediate object that holds an array?

You need an intermediate object to provide the structure to be used during serialisation. It doesn't need to be a custom class though, it can just be an NSDictionary containing the correct key and NSArray value.
