Problem. Code migration between languages is challenging partly because different languages require developers to use different software libraries and frameworks. For example, in Java, Java Development Kit library (JDK) is a popular toolkit while .NET is the main framework used in C\# software development. Code migration requires not only the mappings between the language constructs (e.g., statements, expressions) but also the mappings among the APIs of the libraries/frameworks used in two languages. For example, in Java, to write to a file, one can use FileWriter.write of FileWriter, and in C\#, one can achieve the same function with StreamWriter.Write of StreamWriter. Such mapping is called API mapping.
