The reason I'm using the old version is that I started out a project a couple of months ago before 0.20.0 was out. I gained all my knowledge of RestKit while working on that project and haven't had time yet to migrate to 0.20.0.
Object mapping is when JSON automatically gets mapped to classes like the Pizza class in my video. This can be a Core Data Managed Object or just a normal class. If you use NSJSONSerialization you will end up with NSArrays and NSDictionaries and you'le have to use non type safe statements like [pizza objectForKey@"diameter"]. RestKit can indeed be a bit more complex (which I'm making these screencasts) but in the end it will pay off.
If the RESTful webservice gives as output json data, I can retrieve that data and parse it with the built in JSON parser and set it to a TableView without the need of Restkit. No? Thank you for your great video and for your response.
Thanks for your feedback. You can indeed use the NSURLRequest and NSJSONSerialization. However, you wouldn't get the object mapping, Core Data support and many other features that RestKit provides. It depends on the size and complexity of your project. In future videos I will go into more advanced features of RestKit. Let me know if there are any specific requirements of your project so I can see if I can include that in the future videos.
Thanks for the tutorial But some of the Restkit methods are not available to me. I'm using version 0.20. Some of the method seems to be depricated. Using XCode 5, so can you pls upload a tutorial with all the new methods...or suggest any other alternative...thanx a lot
(Perfect answer).In my case I'm NOT using MySql database. I'm having a web service stored on JBoss server that is parsing a website, retrieving data from it, and outputing a JSON data. As i reviewed your excellent video, I can say that I just have to change URL and entity class. 90% of work is in video. Right?
Object mapping is when something is changed in the web service, it's changed automatically in iOS app? I think that's important in my project. Why avoiding Restkit, because I think that it is more complex than NSURLRequest/NSJSONSerialization. But indeed more advanced...
best RestKit tutorial ever :) Thank you so much, you really saved my time :) can you put your twitter account to stay in touch :) Thanks a lot again :)
Thanks, this helped me debug some issues I was having while following other tutorials.

Dude! Thanks for this helpful great screencast, it saved me huge time. really appreciate the great effort.

Thanks. I've updated the video description with my (personal) Twitter account.
