With spring-binder you'd get rid of writing the boilerplate codesto map postedDTO objects toJPA entity models and save them to database inSpring Framework.It supports both x-www-form-urlencoded/multipart forms and REST requests.

Have you ever used or heard libraries likeModelMapper?There are samples to mapDTO objects to entities usingModelMapper.

Well, we do that in a more efficient and clever way. UsingModelMapper you need to firstdesrialize data toDTO object then useModelMapper to access properties and create mapping.

This is somehow inefficient because the reflection is applied two times.

WithSpringBinder, wile the object is getting deserilized, the mapping is applied.

Besides that, there are some other cool features like usingentity graph and serilize/deserilizecustomization
