Is it possible that this library is not limited to serialization and deserialization? If I implement a custom parser, can I dynamically call methods, access, and modify properties, etc.?

Hi,

what exactly do you mean by dynamically accessing properties? Could provide a specific code example of something you would like to be able to do?

Also, have you taken a look at rfl::to_view(...)? Do you think this might address some of the things you would like to do?

[Candlend]

Thank you for your previous response! While rfl::to_view(...) helps, it's not flexible enough for my needs.
I'm currently serializing my data into an rfl::Generic::Object using:
rfl::Generic::Object obj = rfl::json::read<rfl::Generic::Object>(rfl::json::write(data));
This allows me to use ImGui to automatically generate an Inspector interface for editing properties.
Is it possible to directly convert to rfl::Generic::Object instead of going through the write and read process?

[liuzicheng1987]

Sure, directly converting to Generic::Object should be possible. I think it's a great idea.

@Candlend , I have implemented generic reflection using rfl::to_generic and rfl::from_generic. It is in this feature branch:

https://github.com/getml/reflect-cpp/tree/f/generic_reflection

Dokumentation is here:

Happy to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for the quick update! It’s awesome. I'll try it out soon!
