Mapping is a set of transformations used to Map source tables to target data tables.

Mapplet is nothing but a reusable Mapping.. In Mapplet you won't specify the actual targets..

A mapplet designer is a resuable transformation where u can have number of transformation as source,agg,sorter,lkp etc(not joiner,target,normaliser) which u can use in any mapping.where as a mapping is just a collection of all transofromation where u can use the mapplet which u have created

There is one more difference, if a variable and paramater is defined in a mapping cannot be used in a mapplet.

In simple words mapplet is nothing but reusable mapping, i.e., group of transformation, and this whole can be pulled any where just like reusable transformation. Mapping is just connection of reusable or non reusable tranformation created to obtained the desired logic as per business requirements.
