RKTableController provides a flexible, integrated system for driving iOS table views using
the RestKit object mapping engine. Local domain objects can be mapped into table cells within a
collection or presented for editing as part of a form. There are three flavors of table controllers
available:
* Static Tables: RKTableController can be used to render simple static tables that are composed of RKTableItems
presented in RKTableSections. Table items can quickly be built and added to a table without a backing model
or can have content object mapped into them for presentation.
* Network Tables: RKTableController can also render a table with the results of a network load. The typical use
case here is to have RestKit retrieve a JSON/XML payload from your remote system and then render the content into
a table.
* Core Data Tables: RKFetchedResultsTableController can efficiently drive a table view using objects pulled from a
Core Data managed object context. Typical use-cases here are for the presentation of large collections that are
pulled from a remote system, offering offline access, or speeding up a UI by using Core Data as a fast local cache.
RKTableController supports a number of bells and whistles including integrated searching/filtering and pull to refresh.
The XML parser did put attributes in a strange place in the hierarchy,
which caused them to be overwritten when multiple elements exists with
the same attribute.
* Removed RestKit from inheritance hierarchy
* Mappings are implemented as concrete classes
* Mapper is much more flexible & powerful
* Much more robust error handling
* Serialization is reimplemented as an object mapping operation
* Added ability to serialize to JSON natively
* Reworked Core Data integration
* Simplified the codebase substantially
* Cleaned up various mismatches in method signatures that were preventing documentation generation
* Removed naked ampersands from comments as they cause XML parser failures during docset generation via appledoc
* Updates YAJL Parser not to raise an exception and crash when it encounters invalid JSON. The other parsers need to be aligned with this behavior and the delegate methods updated. See Pivotal Story: https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/11925617
* Added requestDidCancel: delegate invocation for tracking cancellation of requests.
* Ensure that the request queue timer is cleared during indeterminate deferral of request loads.
