Magic Enum C++ VS Nameof C++

https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum I chose this project because, while experimenting with enums in my course management project, I realized that I was writing a lot of boilerplate code. I even tried applying generic programming by using the library to avoid meaningless pointers and experimented with templates, but in the end, this approach made the code more complicated than I had thought. In C++, enums are not very flexible by default, it’s not possible to easily iterate through them or convert them to and from strings. This often results in repetitive code and makes programs more prone to errors. With the help of modern C++17 features, however, libraries like magic_enum can make our lives much easier by providing static reflection and avoiding the need for manual stuff. Enums are also a great tool for APIs instead of introducing unnecessary layers of inheritance and polymorphism which could lead to confusion, we can use enums to keep the design simple and clear.

I'm not sure this is quite what you're asking for, but this library has been super helpful to me in the past : https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum

What does this have to offer over magic_enum?

But it's a hack, and I prefer not to use hacks in production, because of their significant limitations:

You can either write a to string(view) function for your enum or use https://github.com/Neargye/magic_enum

Why reinvent the wheel? magic_enum

In general, nameof for reflection

There is also nameof
