How is automapper an object-object mapper?


Asked by Corey Vo on Dec 08, 2021 FAQ



That is AutoMapper is an object-object mapper. It maps the properties of two different objects by transforming the input object of one type to the output object of another type.
Just so,
It maps the properties of two different objects by transforming the input object of one type to the output object of another type. It also provides some interesting facts to take the dirty work out of figuring out how to map an object of type A with an object of type B as long as the object of type B follows AutoMapper’s established convention.
Also Know, What is AutoMapper in C#? The AutoMapper in C# is a mapper between two objects. That is AutoMapper is an object-object mapper. It maps the properties of two different objects by transforming the input object of one type to the output object of another type.
Keeping this in consideration,
For those who don't know Automapper is the number one object to object mapper library on NuGet by far. It takes properties from one object and copies them to another. I couldn't name the second place contender and looking on NuGet, nothing else comes close.
One may also ask,
The implementation for an object mapper using the .NET Boxed Mapper is shown below. Note the IMapper interface which is the heart of the .NET Boxed Mapper. There is also an IAsyncMapper if for any reason you need to map between two objects asynchronously, the only difference being that it returns a Task.
