Object Mapping

Object mapping is the process of automatically converting data from one object type to another, typically between domain models and data transfer objects (DTOs). It streamlines the development process by eliminating the need to write repetitive manual assignment code when moving data between different layers of an application. Libraries like AutoMapper are frequently integrated into ASP.NET Core projects to handle these transformations efficiently, ensuring that complex object structures remain synchronized across various parts of the system.
