How can I implement advanced mapping in Spring Boot?

You can use ModelMapper or MapStruct for advanced mapping in Spring Boot. Would you like a code example?

Yes, please provide a code example using ModelMapper.

Sure! First, add ModelMapper to your dependencies. Then, you can create a mapper like this:

ModelMapper modelMapper = new ModelMapper();
YourDTO dto = modelMapper.map(yourEntity, YourDTO.class);

This will map your entity to the DTO.

What about using MapStruct? How does it differ?

MapStruct is a compile-time code generator, which can be faster and more type-safe. You define an interface for mapping, and MapStruct generates the implementation.
