metacpp VS cista

https://github.com/RamblingMadMan/metacpp Need C++17 and attributes, libclang, boost...

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.

Awesome work; I nearly mistook the title for my own library metacpp haha

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. :/

To see some of the features, example usage and to get it yourself; check out the repo on GitHub: https://github.com/RamblingMadMan/metacpp

C++ has some reflection. You can checkout cista: https://github.com/felixguendling/cista

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

If you want to see, what's possible with plain C++ (no language changes needed), checkout https://github.com/felixguendling/cista

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.
