refl-cpp is a header-only C++17 library providing static, compile-time reflection and introspection. It encodes type metadata in the type system, enabling constexpr and template metaprogramming over types, fields, functions, attributes, and proxies.

Use cases

  • enumerate struct fields at compile time in C++
  • serialize objects generically without code generation
  • attach custom attributes to types and members
  • build proxy wrappers around types with the same members
  • invoke member functions by name at runtime
  • write generic code that introspects types via template metaprogramming

When to choose

  • you need compile-time reflection in C++17 with zero dependencies
  • you want a small API surface and header-only integration
  • you need support for overloaded functions, template types, and custom attributes

When to avoid

  • you need runtime-registered reflection without macros
  • your project targets a standard older than C++17
  • you need reflection for types you cannot modify to add metadata macros
