A system and method for transforming a data object from a source form into a destination form is described. In one embodiment, the data object is stored in its source form as a set of related source components forming a source data structure having a first hierarchical configuration. The data object is stored in its destination form as a different set of related destination components forming a destination data structure having a different hierarchical configuration. A user is enabled to define a transformation map including a set of transformation mapping expressions declared by the user for transforming the data object between its source form and its destination form. The data object is then automatically transformed from its source form into its destination form based on the transformation map defined by the user and the source and destination data structures.
