Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Small community support

   Few active contributors and low engagement on the GitHub issues page indicate limited community assistance for troubleshooting.

2. 02

   Performance overhead due to extensive type checking

   The use of TypeScript features can introduce runtime performance penalties, especially in large-scale applications.

3. 03

   Depends on class-transformer's limitations and bugs

   Since it extends the functionality of class-transformer, any issues or limitations present in that package are inherited.

What it does well

• Additional methods for object transformation beyond class-transform

• Enhanced support for TypeScript features

• Compatibility with existing class-transform usage
