Tout d'abord, choisir une librairie JSON à utiliser, personnellement, j'aime TouchJSON mais plusieurs autres sont très belles aussi. La partie compliquée, bien que pas très dur, est de convertir vos objets gérés en place des structures adéquates pour la conversion. J'ai écrit ça vite fait, donc il peut avoir une erreur ou deux :)
Les méthodes que vous appelez sont:
- (NSString*)jsonStructureFromManagedObjects:(NSArray*)managedObjects;
- (NSArray*)managedObjectsFromJSONStructure:(NSString*)json withManagedObjectContext:(NSManagedObjectContext*)moc;
Et la mise en œuvre est comme suit:
- (NSDictionary*)dataStructureFromManagedObject:(NSManagedObject*)managedObject
{
NSDictionary *attributesByName = [[managedObject entity] attributesByName];
NSDictionary *relationshipsByName = [[managedObject entity] relationshipsByName];
NSMutableDictionary *valuesDictionary = [[managedObject dictionaryWithValuesForKeys:[attributesByName allKeys]] mutableCopy];
[valuesDictionary setObject:[[managedObject entity] name] forKey:@"ManagedObjectName"];
for (NSString *relationshipName in [relationshipsByName allKeys]) {
NSRelationshipDescription *description = [[[managedObject entity] relationshipsByName] objectForKey:relationshipName];
if (![description isToMany]) {
NSManagedObject *relationshipObject = [managedObject valueForKey:relationshipName];
[valuesDictionary setObject:[self dataStructureForManagedObject:relationshipObject] forKey:relationshipName];
continue;
}
NSSet *relationshipObjects = [managedObject objectForKey:relationshipName];
NSMutableArray *relationshipArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (NSManagedObject *relationshipObject in relationshipObjects) {
[relationshipArray addObject:[self dataStructureForManagedObject:relationshipObject]];
}
[valuesDictionary setObject:relationshipArray forKey:relationshipName];
}
return [valuesDictionary autorelease];
}
- (NSArray*)dataStructuresFromManagedObjects:(NSArray*)managedObjects
{
NSMutableArray *dataArray = [[NSArray alloc] init];
for (NSManagedObject *managedObject in managedObjects) {
[dataArray addObject:[self dataStructureForManagedObject:managedObject]];
}
return [dataArray autorelease];
}
- (NSString*)jsonStructureFromManagedObjects:(NSArray*)managedObjects
{
NSArray *objectsArray = [self dataStructuresFromManagedObjects:managedObjects];
NSString *jsonString = [[CJSONSerializer serializer] serializeArray:objectsArray];
return jsonString;
}
- (NSManagedObject*)managedObjectFromStructure:(NSDictionary*)structureDictionary withManagedObjectContext:(NSManagedObjectContext*)moc
{
NSString *objectName = [structureDictionary objectForKey:@"ManagedObjectName"];
NSManagedObject *managedObject = [NSEntityDescription insertNewObjectForEntityForName:objectName inManagedObjectContext:moc];
[managedObject setValuesForKeysWithDictionary:structureDictionary];
for (NSString *relationshipName in [[[managedObject entity] relationshipsByName] allKeys]) {
NSRelationshipDescription *description = [relationshipsByName objectForKey:relationshipName];
if (![description isToMany]) {
NSDictionary *childStructureDictionary = [structureDictionary objectForKey:relationshipName];
NSManagedObject *childObject = [self managedObjectFromStructure:childStructureDictionary withManagedObjectContext:moc];
[managedObject setObject:childObject forKey:relationshipName];
continue;
}
NSMutableSet *relationshipSet = [managedObject mutableSetForKey:relationshipName];
NSArray *relationshipArray = [structureDictionary objectForKey:relationshipName];
for (NSDictionary *childStructureDictionary in relationshipArray) {
NSManagedObject *childObject = [self managedObjectFromStructure:childStructureDictionary withManagedObjectContext:moc];
[relationshipSet addObject:childObject];
}
}
return managedObject;
}
- (NSArray*)managedObjectsFromJSONStructure:(NSString*)json withManagedObjectContext:(NSManagedObjectContext*)moc
{
NSError *error = nil;
NSArray *structureArray = [[CJSONDeserializer deserializer] deserializeAsArray:json error:&error];
NSAssert2(error == nil, @"Failed to deserialize\n%@\n%@", [error localizedDescription], json);
NSMutableArray *objectArray = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (NSDictionary *structureDictionary in structureArray) {
[objectArray addObject:[self managedObjectFromStructure:structureDictionary withManagedObjectContext:moc]];
}
return [objectArray autorelease];
}
Maintenant, c'est récursive de sorte que vous pouvez facilement traduire la totalité de votre magasin persistant si vous n'êtes pas prudent. Regarder vos relations et de s'assurer qu'ils ne vont "vers le bas" l'objet de l'arbre, de sorte que vous obtenez seulement les objets que vous souhaitez traduire.
