Hello,
I would like to ask for advice in representing the model of the site I'm
crawling. Each page represents a movie that has multiple reviews and I was
thinking that it would make sense for the reviews to be stored in a list.
Here is an example
```
class MovieItem(Item):
text = Field()
timestamp = Field()
reviews = [ ] # TODO this will be a list of MovieReviewItem
class MovieReviewItem(Item):
text = Field()
author = Field()
timestamp = Field()
```
Thus, the MovieItem object will contain all the associated information and
hopefully, when dumped into a JSON - the structure will be preserved.
In an earlier post on the list, someone asked a similar question and the
suggestion was to use `MultiValuedField`. However, that was back in 2009
and right now there's no reference to it anywhere in the source of Scrapy
(except in documentation, where it is marked as obsolete).
1. What is the recommended way of handling such a situation?
2. Would it then be correctly serialized to JSON?
