use :from many levels deep

Hi,

I'm giving APISmith::Smash a try to map a rich JSON input to Ruby objects.

I have a situation where I have a nested piece of data that I want to map, but not some of its parents.

data = {
  article: {
    titleOfTheArticle: "My Title",
    authorList: {
      author: {
        name: "John Doe"
      }
    },
    details: {
      status: "published"
      updatedAt: '2013-05-10'
    }
  }
}

class Author < APISmith::Smash
  property :name
end

class Article < APISmith::Smash
  property :title, :from => :titleOfTheArticle
  property :author, :transformer => Author
  property :updated_at
end

Here we can see that

1. there is a nested Author in Article and we do not need to keep the authorList intermediate
2. the updated_at value, nested inside details would be mapped directly into Article.

Are such things doable with APISmith, or I have to maintain all the hierarchy with classes?

Thanks
