In the most projects I worked the last years one used DTO objects for the MVC endpoint mapping and manual creation of the database objects.
I stumbled over the method convertValue and wondered if one can use in general instead of implement dump conversion code.
MyClass object = new ObjectMapper().convertValue(map, MyClass.class);
What are your experiences, also with the alternatives like GSON. Finally I'm wondering, if there is a programming language, where the such a transformation of composite objects come out of the box?
