what is the best API for serialization?
C++ has some reflection. You can checkout cista: https://github.com/felixguendling/cista

Ask HN: What happened to flatbuffers? Are they being used?
If you're looking for something faster but C++ specific, more compact in serialized size, more efficient in serialization you can try cista: https://github.com/felixguendling/cista

alpaca: A new serialization library written in C++17 - Pack C++ structs into a compact byte-array without any macros or boilerplate
Can you give us some hint on what would be different in your project from the libraries that do roughly the same? The tser author has made a comment here, but I know that cista and zpp_bits probably have some overlap with alpaca. I just don't have a specific use case now, so I don't have an urge to dive deep into the topic, but in the past I've needed a library like yours, and right now I would have to evaluate half a dozen libraries to know would be "best" or more appropriate.

I implement a fast, macro-based namedtuple works under C++11
https://github.com/RamblingMadMan/metacpp Need C++17 and attributes, libclang, boost...

Adding reflection to C++ just to make a game work
I had a similar journey while working on my own custom game engine! I managed to persevere with "plan C" (or whichever was using libclang); after trying out cppast and getting severe NIH syndrome, I ended up with this: metacpp. Do not recommend.

metapp - C++ open source library for runtime reflection and variant
Awesome work; I nearly mistook the title for my own library metacpp haha

Mock "anything" in C++ without Dependency Injection (text tutorial in comment)
I recall such a library: https://github.com/RamblingMadMan/metacpp. But still, as long as reflection in not included in standard it is no-go for me. :/
