@NarendraPunchh Sorry to come in from off the street but I think I know why they are showing up in the first place.

Removing the properties makes sense if you are traversing up a model tree of subclasses to get ALL of the properties but in this case you are just unintentionally pulling them in.

In JSONModel.h you declare:

@protocol AbstractJSONModelProtocol <NSObject, NSCopying, NSCoding>

Since AbstractJSONModelProtocol adheres to NSObject it automatically adds those four properties to any object that adheres to it because they are declared in the NSObject protocol.

I have an answer on StackOverflow that explains it a little bit more in detail.

Either way if you just remove that NSObject from that line you won't have to remove the properties at all because they won't be muddying up your runtime property list. One side-effect from this is the fact that when you loop through it in your JSONModel.m file you have to make the assumption that the objects are NSObject<AbstractJSONModelProtocol> * in type but there is rarely a situation you would have a class that is NOT a subclass of NSObject.

I went ahead with @Deanosaurus's proposal - it solved the issue in a cleaner way I think
