Mappers (MapStruct 1.6.3)

java.lang.Object
- org.mapstruct.factory.Mappers

```
public class Mappers
extends Object
```
Factory for obtaining mapper instances if no explicit component model such as CDI is configured via Mapper.componentModel().
Mapper implementation types are expected to have the same fully qualified name as their interface type, with the suffix Impl appended. When using this factory, mapper types - and any mappers they use - are instantiated by invoking their public no-args constructor.
By convention, a single instance of each mapper is retrieved from the factory and exposed on the mapper interface type by declaring a member named INSTANCE like this:
```
 @Mapper
 public interface CustomerMapper {

     CustomerMapper INSTANCE = Mappers.getMapper( CustomerMapper.class );

     // mapping methods...
 }
 
```
