How to convert an enum to string in C++
I really like better_enums instead of magic_enums. There’s no limit on enum size with it: http://aantron.github.io/better-enums/
It was heavily used at a former employer of mine, so definitely a solid production-ready solution.

What C++ library do you wish existed but hasn’t been created yet?
IIRC I then switched to another library doing the same stuff: https://github.com/aantron/better-enums It is not as magical, as it uses a special macro to define the enum, using dedicated syntax. So it only works for enums you yourself define. However, it did work a lot better for me with enums with huge values.

Behind the magic of magic_enum
I can't keep up! First we have better enum, then some guy at a conference says we have to use wise enum instead, and now you speak of magic enum!
- What are some cool modern libraries you enjoy using?

let's all be chads
If you need a laugh today, look at Better Enums library for C++. If you thought moving from C to C++ would let you leave macros behind, think again! Enums in C++ still suck (a bit less than in C though), so someone built a library to help with that. And it's built on macros. So you can only have 64 entries per enum. And the library's code is barely readable.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing enum_reflect and Better Enums you can also consider the following projects:
wise_enum - A reflective enum implementation for C++
C++ Format - A modern formatting library
enum_traits - Type traits for properties of C / C++ enum types
stb - stb single-file public domain libraries for C/C++
Klib - A standalone and lightweight C library
American Fuzzy Lop - american fuzzy lop - a security-oriented fuzzer
Cppcheck - static analysis of C/C++ code
constexpr-8cc - Compile-time C Compiler implemented as C++14 constant expressions
Boost.Signals - Boost.org signals2 module
ZXing - ZXing ("Zebra Crossing") barcode scanning library for Java, Android
Scintilla
spdlog - Fast C++ logging library.
