ForkForward.Mapper¶
A convention-based object-object mapper for .NET.
A community fork of AutoMapper
ForkForward.Mapper is a community fork of AutoMapper, continued from the last
MIT-licensed AutoMapper code (14.0.0). This documentation was written by Jimmy Bogard and the AutoMapper
contributors and is inherited from the original project. It still describes this code: the API has not
changed, only the namespace, which is ForkForward.Mapper since 14.1.0 and has been updated in the samples.
The pages keep calling the library AutoMapper where they describe its design; see
Moving from AutoMapper 14 for what differs.
ForkForward is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the original authors.
AutoMapper uses a fluent configuration API to define an object-object mapping strategy. AutoMapper uses a convention-based matching algorithm to match up source to destination values. AutoMapper is geared towards model projection scenarios to flatten complex object models to DTOs and other simple objects, whose design is better suited for serialization, communication, messaging, or simply an anti-corruption layer between the domain and application layer.
