Deserializing local NSString of JSON into objects via RestKit (no network download)

Question

Pretty "simple":

NSString *stringJSON;
...

RKJSONParserJSONKit *parser;
NSError *error= nil;
parser= [[[RKJSONParserJSONKit alloc] init] autorelease]; 
MyManagedObject *target;
target= [MyManagedObject object];

NSDictionary *objectAsDictionary;
RKObjectMapper* mapper;
objectAsDictionary= [parser objectFromString:stringJSON error:&error];
mapper = [RKObjectMapper mapperWithObject:objectAsDictionary 
                          mappingProvider:[RKObjectManager sharedManager].mappingProvider];
mapper.targetObject = target;
RKObjectMappingResult* result = [mapper performMapping];
NSLog(@"%@", [result asObject]);
