RxJava vs MapStruct: What are the differences?
What is RxJava? Reactive Extensions for the JVM. A library for composing asynchronous and event-based programs by using observable sequences for the Java VM.
What is MapStruct? A Java code generator for creating fast and type-safe bean mappings at compile time. It is a code generator that greatly simplifies the implementation of mappings between Java bean types based on a convention over configuration approach. The generated mapping code uses plain method invocations and thus is fast, type-safe and easy to understand.
RxJava and MapStruct can be categorized as "Java" tools.
RxJava and MapStruct are both open source tools. It seems that RxJava with 40.5K GitHub stars and 6.8K forks on GitHub has more adoption than MapStruct with 2K GitHub stars and 330 GitHub forks.
Pros of MapStruct
- Abstraction of the object conversion1
Pros of RxJava
- Reactive Libraries as per Reactive Manifesto1
