Automapper for Java

Question

Is there a Java equivalent of .Net Automapper ?

Answer 1

Checkout the Dozer project.

Dozer supports simple property mapping, complex type mapping, bidirectional mapping, implicit explicit mapping, and recursive mapping.

It uses BeanUtils and extends to it.

Answer 2

Check out ModelMapper . It was inspired by AutoMapper, but adds a few new things, such as smart matching.

ModelMapper is an intelligent object that eliminates the need to manually map objects for each Other. It uses a conventions-based approach to map objects while providing a simple API refactoring to handle a specific scenario mapping.

Also a short blog post from Jimmy Bogard, creator of AutoMapper:

Answer 3

You should check out the Beanutils open source project from Apache Commons .
