Known issues

• Can't import binary files, this Parse data format will be converted to a String and saves only the URL to the data
• No support for arrays with mixed types
• Can't import passwords from existing users. The password for existing users would be resetted to given password, cause we won't decrypt passwords from Parse users
• actual no support for ACL (coming to apiOmat soon)
