Can you swap one for the other?
Only partly. Most of raspberry's flavor molecules (147 of 204) are also found in mango, but mango has 259 that raspberry lacks. Raspberry gives you part of mango's character without most of its roast. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
