Extensions

This library was build to be adapted to any project needs and extended to any ORM or product. If out-of-the-box behavior + configuration is not enough,there are other options.

However, a deeper knowledge of the architecture of the library is needed.

Types

Getting a value from a class source.myProp is not the same as getting it from a dictionary source["myProp"]. IType is an abstraction that takes care of creating instances, getting/setting member values, and also of storing mapping metadata (annotations).

IType instances are created by registered ITypeFactory instances.

Type Pairs

A TypePair is the configuration and metadata for a mapping operation between two specific types (i.e.: which member maps to which other, ignored members, etc.)

TypePair instanced are created by an ITypePairFactory instance.

Type Mappers

ITypeMapper performs the map operation between two specific types.

ITypeMapper instances are created by registered ITypeMapperFactory.
