Google Auto is a collection of Java annotation-processor-based source code generators, including AutoValue for immutable value types, AutoFactory for JSR-330 factories, and AutoService for ServiceLoader configuration files. It eliminates repetitive boilerplate code by generating the code you would have written, but without the bugs.
Use cases
- generate immutable value classes in java
- remove boilerplate equals hashcode tostring
- generate service loader configuration files
- auto-generate jsr-330 factories
- write java annotation processors
When to choose
- you write java and want to eliminate repetitive value-class boilerplate
- you need compile-time code generation with no runtime reflection
- you use ServiceLoader and want provider files generated automatically
When to avoid
- you use kotlin, which has data classes built in
- you need runtime dynamic code generation rather than compile-time
- your project is not on the jvm
