ShapeShift is a Kotlin first object mapping library. We have built ShapeShift because we wanted a simple to use, minimal boiler plate mapping engine, that is also flexible and supports the most advanced use cases.
Built with Kotlin in mind, ShapeShift was designed around its ecosystem and best practices. The library APIs for mapping with Kotlin:
ShapeShift also has full Java support available with multiple APIs for mapping:
ShapeShift main features:
Auto mapping
Custom field transformers
Default transformers
Deep mapping
Multiple mapping targets
Conditional mapping
Mapping decorators
Seamless spring integration
Native Android support
Check out the quick start guide to learn how get started:
- Fully featured annotation based mapping, just add annotations to your objects and ShapeShift handles the rest. Including using custom field transformers, conditional mapping, advanced object decoration and much more.
- Allowing you to define the relations between objects. This allows you to map objects you can't change (or don't want to), like objects from 3rd party libraries. Additionally you can define inline transformations, conditions and decorations, enabling deep customization and very advanced mapping.
- Same API as Kotlin with full Java support.
- The equivalent Java API for the Kotlin DSL. Allowing you to define the relations between objects without modifying their code, and map objects you can't change (or don't want to).
