Using Reflection to Change Properties in Swift

Question

I am trying to create a serializer that will change the properties of an object.

Example:

class testobj{ var prop1:Int = 3 var prop2:String = "Hello" var prop3:Dictionary<String,String> = Dictionary<String,String>() } 

I know that I can access property names and types using

 reflect(testobjc())[0].1 

and

 var tester = testobj() _std_lib_DemangledTypeName(tester.prop1) 

but what I would like to do is something like

 var tester = testobj() for(var x:Int = 0; x < reflect(testobj()).count; x++){ if(_std_lib_DemangledTypeName(tester.(reflect(testobj())[0].1)) == "Swift.String"){ tester.(reflect(testobj())[0].1) = "World!" } } 

In fact, I want to iterate over all the properties listed for a given class and set the properties for the newly created object of this class. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Quick reflection is new to me.

You can use this class to create a dictionary that forms an object and an object from a dictionary. https://github.com/evermeer/EVReflection
