What is reflection, and why is it useful? I'm particularly interested in Java, but I assume the principles are the same in any language.

As the reflection proposal just got accepted into the C++26 draft, I am wondering if the expected facilities could be used to automatically generate several arithmetic operators for a class?

Is there a way in C# where I can use reflection to set an object property? Ex: MyObject obj = new MyObject(); obj.Name = "Value"; I want to set obj.Name with reflection. Something like: Reflection.
The information you can get back from RTTI isn't enough to do most of the things you'd actually want reflection for though. You can't iterate over the member functions of a class for example.

Quarkus will automatically register a class like yours for reflection if it is part of the method signature of a known integration point. For example, if the class is a return type of JAX-RS / Jakarta REST method, that type will automatically be registered for reflection
Reflection is the specific name for how .NET implements introspection. Other languages may call it something different (C++ calls its limited introspection RTTI, for run-time type information).
Reflection performance will depend on the implementation (repetitive calls should be cached eg: entity.GetType().GetProperty("PropName")). Since most of the reflection I see on a day to day basis is used to populate entities from data readers or other repository type structures I decided to benchmark performance specifically on reflection when it is used to get or set an objects properties.
