In particular, it needs to: + +* be able to map a name to a field +* understand embedded structs +* understand mapping names to fields by a particular tag +* user specified name -> field mapping functions + +These behaviors mimic the behaviors by the standard library marshallers and also the +behavior of standard Go accessors. + +The first two are amply taken care of by `Reflect.Value.FieldByName`, and the third is +addressed by `Reflect.Value.FieldByNameFunc`, but these don't quite understand struct +tags in the ways that are vital to most marshallers, and they are slow. + +This reflectx package extends reflect to achieve these goals. |
