Support BatchGetItem in AWSDynamoDBObjectMapper

[colkilgore]

I'm having problems with trying to map to my database a response from batchGetItem. The response is not a typical dictionary that I could easily map to database, but a structure that has also the datatypes included. When I use the methods from AWSDynamoDBObjectMapper like Load or Query I immediately get the properly mapped AWSDynamoDBObjectModel subclass that I created which is what I'm looking for.

Example of what I'm getting
"Item": { "Year": {"S": "1985"}, "Fans": {"SS": ["Fox","Lloyd"]}, "Name": {"S": "Back To The Future"}, "Rating": {"S": "****"} }

What I would like to get:
"Item": { "Year": "1985", "Fans": ["Fox","Lloyd"], "Name": "Back To The Future", "Rating": "****" }

Are there plans to support batchGetItem in AWSDynamoDBObjectMapper to receive the mapped objects?

Or is there an easy way to parse the differently structured dictionary? I see that there is a private method called - (NSDictionary *)removeAttributes:(NSDictionary *)item mapperVersion:(AWSDynamoDBObjectMapperVersion)mapperVersion that could be useful for this kind of thing, but there is no way to access it.

Maybe there is something I'm missing.

We do not have an immediate plan to support batchGetItem in AWSDynamoDBObjectMapper. I share your request with my team for future considerations.

Seems this would be essential to have a useful API. How is one otherwise meant to use this SDK.
