How to map AfNetworking response object (JSON) to custom class?

I'm getting a JSON as response for a POST method using AFNetworking. I need to map the JSON to a custom class and the create an object containing values from the JSON.

JSON String

{
branch =     {
    address = "";
    email = "";
    globalId = 174;
    id = 0;
    mobile = 9846147442;
    name = "Sathish Clininc Branch1";
    netMdId = 132;
    numberOfDevices = 0;
    organisationName = "<null>";
    passPhrase =         (
    );
    phone = 04872279166;
    status = active;
};
error = "<null>";
netmd =     {
    globalId = 132;
    headOfficeAddress = "";
    headOfficeEmail = "[email protected]";
    headOfficeMobile = "";
    headOfficeName = Koorkenchery;
    headOfficePhone = "";
    id = 0;
    name = "Sathish Clinic";
    ownerAddress = "";
    ownerEmail = "[email protected]";
    ownerFirstName = Sathish;
    ownerLastName = Chandran;
    ownerMobile = "";
    ownerPhone = "";
    password = "aW8oFWDMOJUrIV3l7R7hqQ==";
    status = active;
    userName = sathish;
    userType = owner;
};
primary = 1;
retrieveAppointments =     (
);
retrieveDoctorsList =     (
);
retrievePatients =     (
);
retrieveScheduleList =     (
);
success = 1;
user =     (
);    }

Custom Class

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "ErrorDTO.h"
#import "NetMdBranchDTO.h"
#import "NetMdDTO.h"
@interface NetMdActivationResponseDTO : NSObject
@property (nonatomic, strong)ErrorDTO* error;
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL success;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NetMdBranchDTO* branch;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NetMdDTO* netmd;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray* user;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray* retrieveDoctorsList;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray* retrievePatients;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray* retrieveScheduleList;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSArray* retrieveAppointments;
@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL primary;

@end

You can boost your value object with Mantle. It would be easier to maintain all transformations.

If your JSON keys match your custom class's properties then it is straight forward:

  1. Deserialize your JSON data into an NSDictionary using the NSJSONSerialization class.
  2. Fill your custom objects properties using [object setValuesForKeysWithDictionary:deserializedDictionary]

If the keys do not match than set the properties like object.user = deserializedDictionary[@"userName"]

Another option is to allow custom object to accept all kinds of keys and do the mapping within the object by overriding -setValue:ForKey:

Use JSON Accelerator generate your classes add to code execute

If you want to deal it by yourself

{} : Represents object/Dictionary
[] : Represents array

Dive in write every drill down and get what you require
