projectingFactory

projectingFactory is a software library designed to simplify the process of data projection and transformation. It allows developers to define complex data structures and then apply transformations to extract or reshape specific subsets of that data. The core concept revolves around defining a "projection" which is essentially a blueprint for how data should be shaped or filtered.

The library typically operates by taking an input data source, such as a collection of objects or a database query result, and applying a defined projection to it. This projection specifies which fields to include, how to rename them, and potentially how to perform calculations or aggregations on the data. The output is a new data structure that conforms to the projection's definition.

projectingFactory aims to reduce boilerplate code often associated with data manipulation tasks, especially in scenarios involving diverse data sources or intricate mapping requirements. It can be particularly useful in API development for shaping response data or in data processing pipelines where data needs to be standardized before further use. The library often supports various input and output formats, enhancing its flexibility. Its declarative nature allows developers to express data transformation logic clearly, making the code more readable and maintainable.
