# reflectx
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The sqlx package has special reflect needs. 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.
