## Introduction
[VMF](https://github.com/miho/VMF) is a lightweight modeling framework for the Java platform. It generates/supports:
- getters and setters
- default values
- containment
- cross refrences
- builder API
- equals() and hashCode()
- deep and shallow cloning
- change notification
- undo/redo
- object graph traversal API via iterators and streams
- immutable types and read-only wrappers
- delegation
- annotations
- reflection
- ...
A [VMF](https://github.com/miho/VMF) model consists of annotated Java interfaces. We could call this "wannabe" code. We just specify the interface and its properties and get a rich implementation that implements the property setters and getters, builders and much more. Even for a simple model [VMF](https://github.com/miho/VMF) generated a lot of useful API:
VMF integrates well into manual Java implementations. It comes with a Gradle plugin which means that using VMF is very simple. The tutorials will walk you through all major aspects of [VMF](https://github.com/miho/VMF).
