Vogen VS UnitsNet

There is nothing buildin for this, but take a look at https://github.com/SteveDunn/Vogen

I usually run into issues at the boundaries in the system.

Usually moving from primitives into complex types does not account for serialization and deserialization between db and the client. This can be very annoying to work with in something like C#.

Usually it ends up resulting in alot more types and a lot more mapping between types.

However this has its own benefits, but is very boilerplate-y and is sluggish to work with when your domain changes.

Luckily, for C#, https://github.com/SteveDunn/Vogen now exists thanks to source code generators which soothes some of the issues.

Perhaps it could be combined with this: https://github.com/SteveDunn/Vogen So, you could do this:

If engineering/scientific projects appeal to you, Units of measurement implementations for Java are woefully behind when compared with the likes of UnitsNet for C#.

Check out EngineeringUnits (https://github.com/MadsKirkFoged/EngineeringUnits), or UnitsNet (https://github.com/angularsen/UnitsNet)

https://github.com/angularsen/UnitsNet is sort of an extreme example of this, and their https://github.com/angularsen/UnitsNet/blob/master/Common/UnitDefinitions/Length.json gives an example of how to allow multiple names for units.

Just FYI: https://github.com/angularsen/UnitsNet

(I occasionally use https://github.com/angularsen/UnitsNet/, but it's not quite the same as doing it at the compiler level.)

UnitsNet does this for common units of measure, and for a more general solution, there's also ValueOf

Have you looked into using UnitsNet instead of rolling your own physical quantity library? I've used it before and it's pretty nice.

What would be best is if there was a library to use to convert things to and from measurements. This was what I first attempted, using The UnitsNet library. This library is excellent, and I recommend it to many people. The issue I have with it, is that it was far more in depth than what I need it to do.
