parsing - Manually parse json data according to kendo model -

any built-in ready-to-use solution in kendo ui parse json data according schema.model? maybe kendo.parsedata(json, model), return array of objects?

i searching , couldn't find built-in. however, using model.set apparently uses each field's parse logic, ended writing function works pretty good:

function parse(model, json) {     // initialize model json data quick fix since     // setting id field doesn't seem work.      var parsed = new model(json);     var fields = object.keys(model.fields);     (var i=0; i<fields.length; i++) {         parsed.set(fields[i], json[fields[i]]);     }     return parsed; } 

where model kendo.data.model definition (or datasource.schema.model), , json raw object. using or modifying accept , return arrays shouldn't hard, use case needed single object parsed @ time.
