Migration from XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc to WebAPI v8.2 backwards incompatible. Mappings and metadata available?

$

Hi folks,  We are migrating from the SOAP Organization service to the RESTful WEB API v8.2  (eventually v9.0 which we hope is compatible with v8.2)

Let's just take the "account" EntityType for this example.

There are some fields that are no longer present or the keyName has mutated (example "modifiedbyname" is gone. "modifiedby" has become "_modifiedby_value")

There are many other fields that used to be appear to be an explicit enum, but now they are simply int32

Simple example: 

statecode  was "Active" or "Inactive" in SOAP, but is now 0  or 1.

The problem here is that we are attempting to rebuild our client under the hood, so that when we get 0's and 1's we will have to perform lookups on the fields, and map them to their SOAP values...or worse yet, massage the names of the keys.  We are wondering if there is any such mapping that we could download?  Has anyone tried this sort of endeavor?  Is this unheard of?

I am concerned about the performance hit of doing reverse lookups on every field, since nearly every field has changed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks much,

-Charlie
