ClassForge

Forge Java Classes!

Imagine generating DTOs with a Builder pattern, which functions like a Database-changeset.

Only specify the changes, and a new DTO will be generated for each set of changes.

All previous versions of the DTOs could be generated, or not, for backwards-compatibility.

Semantic Versioning (MAJOR/MINOR/PATCH) can be determined automatically based on the changes. Or it can be set manually.

Where applicable, migration strategies can be provided for migrating from one DTO to another DTO. Converters may be generated based on these migration strategies.

No more copy-and-pasting entire DTOs when a field is added/removed!
