// Extension methods
string text = "hello world";
string camelCase = text.ToCamelCase(); // "helloWorld"
string pascalCase = text.ToPascalCase(); // "HelloWorld"
// Custom types
var price = new Money(99.99m, Currency.USD);
var today = Date.Today;
// Object mapping
var userDto = user.MapTo<UserDto>();
// Advanced mapping with settings
var settings = ClassMappingSettings.Default
.IgnoreProperties<User>(u => u.Password);
var dto = user.MapTo<UserDto>(settings);- String: Case conversions, validation, manipulation
- DateTime: Business day calculations, date ranges, formatting
- Collections: Advanced LINQ, batch processing, safe operations
- Type: Reflection helpers, type inspection, attribute retrieval
- Object: Deep cloning, property manipulation, conversions
- Task: Async utilities, timeout operations, fire-and-forget
- Money - Precise decimal type for financial calculations
- Date - Date-only type without time components
- BaseId - Generic strongly-typed ID wrapper
- SuperType - Advanced entity type with subtype relationships
- Range - Generic range type for intervals
Fast and flexible object mapping without external dependencies:
var dto = sourceObject.MapTo<TargetDto>();Generate code at compile-time from:
- Auto-generate DTOs from domain models
- Create strongly-typed classes from JSON/XML
- Generate data classes from Excel spreadsheets
