Selma v/s MapStruct v/s Model Mapper which one to chose as java mapping framework.?

In light of the Java 8 Stream APIs and with lombok annotation processor library, I am no longer using this mapping frameworks. I create my own mappers by implementing the Converter interface of the spring framework (package org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter)

 @Component public class ProductToProductDTO implements Converter<Product, ProductDTO> { @Override public ProductDTO convert( Product source ) { ProductDTO to = ProductDTO.builder() .name( source.getName()) .description( source.getDescription() ) .tags(source.getTags().stream().map(t -> t.getTag().getLabel()).collect( Collectors.toList())) .build(); return to; } } @Builder //lombok annotation to create Builder class @Data //lombok annotation to create getters & setters @AllArgsConstructor //required for @Builder public class ProductDTO { private String name; private String description; private List<String> tags; } 

You can find a complete comparison between the most used frameworks to map when you click here. In this link you can find benchmark comparisons, how to use each framework etc. I decided to use MapStruct because it is easy to use and is so fast.

I was in similar situation before while looking for solution to leverage annotation processors. I would go with either Selma or MapStruct. Kinda similar being code generators. Played with both but went with MapStruct. Similar question here in SO can help you - Java mapping: Selma vs MapStruct

Also a project in github that benchmarked object to object mapper frameworks has Selma and MapStruct in the top - https://github.com/arey/java-object-mapper-benchmark
