AutoMapper vs FastMapper

Here is a tabular comparison between AutoMapper and FastMapper:

Feature/Aspect AutoMapper FastMapper
Library Type Object-to-object mapping Object-to-object mapping
Performance Slower, especially with large and complex mappings Faster, optimized for performance
Setup Complexity Requires configuration for mapping profiles, but highly flexible Minimal setup, focuses on simplicity
Custom Mapping Supports custom mapping rules and converters Supports basic custom mapping with less flexibility
Inheritance Support Well-supported, can map between base and derived classes Limited inheritance support
Null Handling Customizable null handling options Basic null handling
Mapping Collections Supports mapping collections with built-in configuration Supports collections, faster due to lightweight processing
Flattening and Projection Supports flattening complex objects and nested properties Limited support for flattening
Assemblies and Dependencies Heavier, with multiple dependencies Lightweight with fewer dependencies
Community and Support Large, active community with extensive documentation Smaller community with less extensive documentation
Dynamic Mapping Supports mapping with runtime configuration Primarily focuses on compile-time mappings
Use Cases Suitable for enterprise-level applications with complex mappings Best for simple to moderately complex mappings where performance is key
Ease of Use Steeper learning curve due to extensive features Easier to use with straightforward scenarios
Maintained By Community-driven, widely used in the .NET ecosystem Less popular, niche usage

This comparison should help you choose the right mapper based on your project's needs.

FastEndpoint vs Minimal APIs vs Controller

Here's a tabular comparison between FastEndpoints, Minimal APIs, and Controllers in the context of ASP.NET Core: Feature/Aspect FastEndpoints Minimal APIs Controllers Design Philosophy Focuses on performance and simplicity by providing a fast, endpoint-centric approach Prioritizes minimalism and simplicity, with an emphasis on lightweight, functional programming Based on the MVC pattern, providing a structured, feature-rich approach Performance Optimized for performance with minimal overhead High performance due to minimal abstractions Slightly more overhead due to MVC and routing abstractions Setup Complexity Requires additional setup and configuration but offers more granular control Minimal setup, quickly defined routes, and handlers Requires more setup and configuration with Controllers, Actions, and Routes Routing Explicit routing defined per endpoint, more control over routes Inline routing with lambda expressions, less verbose Attribute-base...
