ModelMapper
An intelligent Java library that automatically maps objects to each other using a convention-based approach.
What is ModelMapper?
ModelMapper is a Java library that automatically maps data between objects, such as from domain models to DTOs or between different API layers. It uses intelligent conventions to match properties by name and type, eliminating the need for repetitive manual mapping code. The library solves the common problem of writing and maintaining boilerplate mapping logic in Java applications.
Java developers building applications with layered architectures, such as Spring Boot or Jakarta EE projects, where data needs to be transformed between entities, DTOs, and view models.
Developers choose ModelMapper for its balance of automatic convention-based mapping and a refactoring-safe API for customizations, reducing development time while maintaining type safety and flexibility.
