Introspection

An instance of a node, or a derived class, can be introspected as follows:

• get_class() returns the node's class.
• find_properties() returns a collection of all the node's properties.
  • Properties are akin to data members that are of simple types.
• find_descendants_t<>() can be used to acquire a collection of all the node's child nodes.
  • Child nodes are akin to data members that are of complex types.

An instance of a node link can be introspected as follows:

• find_properties() returns a collection of all the node link's properties.

Note

Member function introspection is not supported.

More focused property and child node queries are available, as detailed in Shared Ownership.
