Mass Stock Update for Magento

This project implements functionality that allows updating many products in a single REST request to Magento. The source is divided into three modules:

• The CSV adapter module provides a CSV adapter implementation that enables any API in Magento to recognize requests in CSV format.
• The Mass Stock module provides a new REST endpoint that updates stock items.
• The Mass Stock test module contains a controller, which connects to Magento REST API via OAuth and makes the request against the service provided by the Mass Stock module.
