BeanUtil

BeanUtil is a bean manipulation library that, in a nutshell, allows setting and reading bean properties. Several features make BeanUtil distinct:
fast (if not the fastest) bean manipulation utility
works with both attributes and properties
nested properties can be arrays, lists and maps
missing inner properties may be created
may work silently (no exception is thrown)
offers few populate methods
has strong-type conversion library
Flavors of BeanUtil
Before we jump into the details, let's quickly learn what types of BeanUtil exists. Implementations differ in the way how they threat private properties, if they throw exceptions and, finally, if they force the creation of missing inner properties (more details later). You can build your own implementation easily using BeanUtilBean, but these are already provided:
