RestKit: Mapping multiple attributes to a single array

I have a Objective C class that has the following attributes

@property(nonatomic, strong) NSString *name;
@property(nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *companies;
@property(nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *users;
@property(nonatomic, strong) NSMutableArray *tags;

These arrays are collections of other objects (instances of Company,User and Tag class). I need to create a requestDescriptorWithMapping for the POST request which will put all the members of the arrays into a single one named params with the following structure:

{ name: "Test", 
  params: [
    {param:'company', values:['CompanyName1','CompanyName2'..],
    {param:'users', values:['UserName1','UserName2'..]
  ]
}

What would be the best way to go here? I'm testing RKBlockValueTransformer but so far no success. I can create this array manually by creating three NSMutableDictionaries but wanted to check is there a better way to this.

You could do this:

[@{ @"name": self.name, 
   @"params": @[
    @{@"param":@"company", values:[self.companies valueForKey:@"name"]}
    @{@"param":@"users", values:[self.users valueForKey:@"name"]}
  ]
} mutableCopy]

Assuming you Company and User classes have a name property. And if you're not using ARC you'll need to autorelease the result of mutableCopy
