      \"feature1\",
      \"feature2\",
      \"f         


        

Answer 1

I don't think you can map an array of strings into a ManagedObject like that. However, since Feature only has one name property you could just store it as an array into your MyTopLevelObject. You can do that by adding a features property to MyTopLevelObject in your datamodel with the type Transformable. RestKit will automatically parse the features a NSArray with NSStrings. You can then get the features as following:

MyTopLevelObject *topLevelObject = ... // get the object from the persistent store
NSArray *features = (NSArray*)topLevelObject.features; // this will contain the features as NSString objects
