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
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:Name | Access
Privates | Throws Exceptions | Force Missing Properties |
BeanUtil.pojo | no | yes | no |
BeanUtil.declared | yes | yes | no |
BeanUtil.silent | no | no | no |
BeanUtil.forced | no | yes | yes |
BeanUtil.declaredSilent | yes | no | no |
BeanUtil.declaredForced | yes | no | yes |
BeanUtil.declaredForcedSilent | yes | no | yes |
BeanUtil.forcedSilent | no | no | yes |
