ForgeMap
A lightweight, MIT-licensed, source-generator-based object transformation library for .NET. ForgeMap generates type conversion code at compile time, providing zero-reflection runtime execution with compile-time type safety.
Features
- Source Generator - Compile-time code generation, no runtime reflection
- Zero Overhead - Generated code is as fast as hand-written code
- Type Safe - Compile-time validation of mappings
- Debuggable - Generated code is readable and debuggable
- MIT License - Fully open source, no commercial restrictions
Installation
dotnet add package ForgeMap
Quick Start
using ForgeMap;
// 1. Define your types
public class OrderEntity
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string CustomerName { get; set; }
public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
}
public class OrderDto
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string CustomerName { get; set; }
public DateTime OrderDate { get; set; }
}
// 2. Create a forger class
[ForgeMap]
public partial class AppForger
{
public partial OrderDto Forge(OrderEntity source);
}
// 3. Use it
var forger = new AppForger();
var dto = forger.Forge(entity);
Performance
ForgeMap is the fastest in benchmarks against AutoMapper and Mapperly (.NET 9, AMD EPYC 7763):
| Scenario | ForgeMap | Mapperly | AutoMapper |
|---|---|---|---|
| Simple (10 props) | 14.5 ns | 15.9 ns (1.1x) | 80.7 ns (5.6x) |
| Nested (2 levels) | 27.3 ns | 30.7 ns (1.1x) | 92.5 ns (3.4x) |
| Deep (4 levels) | 31.3 ns | 35.8 ns (1.1x) | 247.0 ns (7.9x) |
| Collection (1000) | 17.7 us | 20.1 us (1.1x) | 22.2 us (1.3x) |
See benchmarks/BENCHMARK_RESULTS.md for full details.
Migrating from AutoMapper
See the Migration Guide for step-by-step instructions and before/after code examples. ForgeMap also includes an AI-assisted migration tool (Claude Code skill) that can convert your existing AutoMapper CreateMap/Profile configurations to ForgeMap attributes automatically. See ForgeMap vs AutoMapper & Mapperly for a detailed feature comparison.
