[TYPO3-mvc] Mapping various Objects to a Domain Model

[Thomas "Thasmo" Deinhamer]

Ye, but the point is, the data will never fit to any model,
because the JSON data's structure is totally different and
doesn't match the model's properties at all.

I need to process each data node/property of the JSON data
manually and assign it to the model. The question is how
can I do this in an elegant and flexible way without polluting
the model itselt. The question is where should I put this
code and how should I load/call it.

Should I add this code to a model service or should I
create a separate utility for this or could I use the
new SignalSlot mechanism etc.

That's the best solution to populate a model object with
custom, unstructured data which comes from a web service?

Thanks for your feedback! ;)
