mapperCan

mapperCan is a software library designed for simplifying the process of mapping data structures in programming. It aims to reduce the boilerplate code typically required when transforming data from one format to another, such as converting a database record into a domain object or mapping a request payload to a command object. The core functionality of mapperCan revolves around defining mappings between source and target properties. Developers can specify how individual fields from the source should be assigned to fields in the target, often handling type conversions and simple transformations automatically.

The library typically supports a fluent API, allowing for a readable and concise definition of these mappings. This approach enhances code clarity and maintainability, especially in complex data transformation scenarios. mapperCan often includes features for handling nested objects, collections, and arrays, providing flexible ways to map intricate data structures. Error handling is another aspect commonly addressed, with mechanisms to report or manage issues that arise during the mapping process, such as missing properties or incompatible data types. The primary goal is to abstract away the repetitive and error-prone aspects of data mapping, enabling developers to focus on business logic rather than data manipulation details.
