    Yeah, but parsing format strings in runtime induces an overhead, and doing it in compile time is not trivial, and I’m not sure ClearIO is worth the trouble, since it turns out scnlib exists.

    The code is rather nice (in my biased opinion) and makes heavy use of a couple of libraries like scnlib and [Eigen](eigen.tuxfamily.org/). Some things could probably be more optimized but I mainly focused on conciseness. I hope this is useful and I can explain my thought process further if you have any questions.

    I've found https://github.com/eliaskosunen/scnlib but haven't tested it. Maybe that suits your needs for 2.

    I had a user enum like enum class Color {Red, Green, Blue}; that I wanted to add serialization support for. Following the docs (https://scnlib.readthedocs.io/), after some tweaks I arrived at the following:
  • scnlib (scanf for modern C++) - version 1.0 released
