How to serialize back to JSON only some properties of a NSManaged object.

Hi,

Is there a way for Groot to serialize back to JSON Dictionary only some properties of my NSManaged Object?

Also, I want to know if it's possible to serialize from JSON some properties and to not serial back to JSON all of those properties. For example the createdAt time stamp that is created by the server.

If JSONKeyPath is associated with @"null" or NSNull then the attribute or relationship will not participate in JSON serialization.

What about if I want to serialize in one direction and not to another.

Say from JSON to manage object and NOT from manage object to JSON?

There's no way to do that at the moment. You'll need to remove the keys manually.

In Groot 1.0, attributes and relationships that don't have a JSONKeyPath entry are not considered for JSON serialization or deserialization.

This should solve your issue when serializing back to JSON.
