What is Chimney?
Chimney is a Scala library that provides typeclasses and macros for intuitive and type-safe transformations between data structures. It allows for automatic derivation of transformers between different model case classes, reducing boilerplate code. Chimney uses macros internally to ensure that transformations are checked at compile time, providing safety and convenience.
