Object Mapping with Mapster in C# .NET 8

Mapping data from one object to another is a common practice in C# .NET. I used to use AutoMapper until I met Mapster. What is your preferred way of mapping object data?

@07:24 The Mapster alternative of '.ForMember' is:

TypeAdapterConfig<Address, AddressResponse>
.NewConfig()
.Map(response => response.Location, entity => entity.Location.AsText())
.Map(response => response.Viewport, entity => entity.Viewport.AsText());

I'll place this in my "ConfigureServices.cs" or "Extensions.cs".

Also, using the IMapper to migrate from AutoMapper to Mapster can save you some time.
