reflect-cpp: Serialization and deserialization through reflection in C++, including automated struct field name detection

Hi everyone,

I am developing an open-source library for serialization, deserialization and validation for C++, similar to Python’s Pydantic or Rust’s serde.

https://github.com/getml/reflect-cpp

To give you a taste:

struct Person {
  std::string first_name;
  std::string last_name;
  int age;
};

const auto homer =
    Person{.first_name = "Homer",
           .last_name = "Simpson",
           .age = 45};

const std::string json_string = rfl::json::write(homer);

auto homer2 = rfl::json::read<Person>(json_string).value();

Which will result in the following JSON string:

{"first_name":"Homer","last_name":"Simpson","age":45}

Way more complex structures are possible, including recursive structs, nested structs, algebraic data types and automatic validation.

If you are interested, check it out. Constructive criticism is very welcome.
