magic_get
A C++14 library providing std::tuple-like reflection for user-defined aggregate types without macros or boilerplate.
What is magic_get?
Boost.PFR (Precise and Flat Reflection) is a C++14 library that provides basic compile-time reflection for aggregate data types. It enables developers to treat plain structs like tuples—accessing fields by index, getting the field count, and serializing to streams—without writing macros or repetitive boilerplate code.
C++ developers working with aggregate types (structs/classes) who need reflection for serialization, logging, debugging, or interoperability with tuple-based APIs, especially in projects avoiding heavy code-generation tools.
It offers a lightweight, header-only solution for reflection that integrates seamlessly with standard C++ and other Boost libraries, eliminating macro clutter while maintaining high performance through compile-time introspection.
