Dynamic model reflection

A system, comprising:

• one or more data processors;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium containing instructions which when executed on the one or more data processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations including:
• writing a class definition that includes a known interface, wherein the known interface includes a limited set of known properties according to a list of properties in a first data store, one or more of the properties of a strong type;
• adding one or more attributes to the class definition, wherein the attributes include a serialization attribute corresponding to a serialization method and a non-serialization attribute indicating one or more properties that are not to be serialized;
• writing a reflected interface member to the class definition, the reflected interface member corresponding to a function for a property in the class definition;
• writing a property to the class definition according to the list of properties;
• generating a new assembly, wherein the new assembly is generated by compiling the class definition, and wherein the compiled class definition includes the limited set of known properties and one or more values corresponding to the properties;
• generating an object from the compiled class definition of the new assembly from a second data store;
• and
• converting the object into a stream of data according to the serialization method, wherein the object data stream includes the serialization attribute that facilitates converting the object data stream into a new object, wherein the object and the new object are identical, and wherein a strongly typed operation can be performed on the object data stream without writing additional code.

A computer-program product tangibly embodied in a non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, including instructions configured to cause a data processing apparatus to:

• write a class definition that includes a known interface, wherein the known interface includes a limited set of known properties according to a list of properties in a first data store, one or more of the properties of a strong type;
• add one or more attributes to the class definition, wherein the attributes include a serialization attribute corresponding to a serialization method and a non-serialization attribute indicating one or more properties that are not to be serialized;
• write a reflected interface member to the class definition, the reflected interface member corresponding to a function for a property in the class definition;
• write a property to the class definition according to the list of properties;
• generate a new assembly, wherein the new assembly is generated by compiling the class definition, and wherein the compiled class definition includes the limited set of known properties and one or more values corresponding to the properties;
• generate an object from the compiled class definition of the new assembly;
• and
• convert the object into a stream of data according to the serialization method, wherein the object data stream includes the serialization attribute that facilitates converting the object data stream into a new object, wherein the object and the new object are identical, and wherein a strongly typed operation can be performed on the object data stream without writing additional code.
