## What it is
MyBatis Generator (MBG) is a code generator that introspects database tables and generates Java or Kotlin model classes and MyBatis mapper code for CRUD access. It runs from the command line, as a Maven plugin, Ant task, or Eclipse plugin.

## Use cases
- generate mybatis mapper and model classes from database tables
- scaffold crud code for a java project
- generate kotlin data classes from a database schema
- avoid writing boilerplate mybatis xml configuration
- generate java records matching table structure

## When to choose
- you use MyBatis and want to eliminate boilerplate for simple CRUD operations
- you want generated code based on an existing database schema
- you prefer annotation-based or MyBatis Dynamic SQL code over hand-written XML

## When to avoid
- you need complex join queries or stored procedures - MBG only covers simple CRUD
- you use an ORM other than MyBatis
- you want a full runtime ORM framework rather than generated code

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: orm, database, developer-tools, cli, plugin-system
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend, web-development
- platform: jvm, cli, editor-plugin
- tags: mybatis, code-generation, crud, kotlin, maven-plugin, eclipse-plugin, boilerplate
