iguana
A universal serialization engine for C++ using compile-time reflection to convert objects to/from JSON, XML, YAML, and Protobuf.
What is iguana?
Iguana is a universal serialization engine for C++ that uses compile-time reflection to convert C++ objects to and from various data formats like JSON, XML, YAML, and Protobuf. It solves the problem of data interchange in C++ applications by providing a single, efficient library for multiple serialization needs without runtime overhead.
C++ developers working on applications that require serialization for data storage, network communication, or configuration files, especially those using modern C++17/C++20 features.
Developers choose Iguana for its compile-time reflection approach, which ensures high performance and type safety, combined with support for multiple formats through a simple and consistent API, reducing the need for multiple serialization libraries.
