reflection in programming languages
Reflection in programming languages refers to the capability of a program to examine its own structure, properties, and behavior at runtime. It allows a program to inspect and modify itself, dynamically create new objects and classes, and access and manipulate data and code that is otherwise hidden. Reflection enables powerful features like runtime code generation, debugging, and building frameworks with flexible and extensible architectures.
