If you feel lazy to map class properties manually then you can use BCCAutoMapper to do it for you automatically. It also makes code look cleaner by hiding the logic. In example below, we're going to map model classes to actual entity classes for one-to-many association. For more information about BCCAutoMapperBundle, visit GitHub page.
Install bcc/auto-mapper-bundle
with composer.
Register new BCC\AutoMapperBundle\BCCAutoMapperBundle()
in your kernel.

In real life example, the most of the logic below should live in service and factory classes. Controller must be as "thin" as possible but for now I'm doing all in controller just for demonstration purposes.

Since this example accepts Json and XML payloads, you can use XML version if you want to.
{
"school_id": "abc123",
"name": "Inanzzz Blog",
"nickname": "hello",
"gender": "M",
"message": {
"subject": "Test",
"body": "This is a test message",
"additional_note": "No note",
"is_open": true
}
}
If you sent payload above to http://...../api/student_message
address, you'll get result below.
// print_r($studentModel);
