============

Since StackMob is now defunct, forking this code to support moving a Parse dataset to a different backend.

see stackmob-parse-migrator for the original project

• Install pip (brew install python works on mac)
• pip install stackmob-parse-migrator or clone this repo
• If you're importing geopoints, create schema with geopoint fields using the same names you had on Parse. All other schema types can be inferred and you don't need to worry about them.
• Unzip the parse export zip to somewhere on your harddrive
• Windows only: Rename any relation JSON files (see Windows Caveats below)

stackmob-parse-migrator --path=/path/to/unzipped-json/folder --verbose 1

• Primitives data types
• Arrays
• ID fields
• Overriding createddate/lastmoddate
• Geopoints
• Dates
• Relations
• Subobjects
• Pointers

• Binary Files

• Mixed type arrays are not allowed (this is a feature)
• Subobjects greater than 1 level deep can't be migrated
• StackMob doesn't support actual subobjects. Subobjects will be split off into separate relations, which can be joined together by using the expand feature
• StackMob doesn't have a date format. Dates are stored as longs in unix time
• This script loads all the objects for each collection into memory. This could lead to OOM with sufficiently large datasets

Please visit http://www.python.org/getit/ to download a Python distribution for your Windows platform. We have tested this script successfully on Windows 7 using ActivePython 2.7.2.

If your application uses relations in its schemas, then the zip archive you downloaded from Parse has files of the form _Join:<relationName>:_<schemaName>.json. Windows handles this badly, and some zip clients do too. We recommend that you rename these files after unarchiving to the form _Join#<relationName>#_<schemaName>.json

Windows may not be able to find stackmob-parse-migrator at the command prompt. If you installed the script using pip, then it should reside in C:\Python27\Scripts, or wherever your Python installation lives. Navigate to that directory, and execute the script directly from there, e.g. python .\stackmob-parse-migrator --api_key=...

This project is open source! You are welcome to modify this and improve it as you come along. There's such a variety of data out there that we hope we've covered, but just in case you find any corner cases, we and other developers would truly be grateful for your contributions :) Thanks, and happy coding!
