Since JSONModel is becoming more and more popular I need to set some ground rules.

Reporting an issue on GitHub

<a href=“whattoreport”></a>

Be sure you are reporting either 1) a bug you have discovered or 2) a feature request.

People have been abusing the GitHub issues system for a while to ask all kind of vague questions and I’ve been helping some, but to be honest I just don’t have the time to clarify with the reporting what they need and try to find a solution for each and every case.

Long story short - make sure you are reporting something and not just asking how this or that is done.

Describe what you expected to happen and what actually happened instead.

Add the piece of JSON relevant to the problem and your Objective-C model code.

I need to be able to **reproduce the problem** in order to fix it.

Of course the best would be if you already have fixed the problem yourself, then create a pull request. If you do - before you send a pull request run ALL TEST CASES on both IOS and OSX! Add a test case for what you have fixed, since it obviously haven’t been covered with one if there was a problem to be fixed.

In case you **do need help** with your code: your best start is to **read the repo README**, many people don’t and it really is the best place to find many answers.

In case the README does not answer your question, try StackOverflow. There’s a **hashtag jsonmodel** - search the questions [answered so far](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/jsonmodel), and if you don’t find a solution create a new question and give it the tag **jsonmodel**.
