Does D have any reflection/introspection?

I'd like to do something like this

class Contact
{
string first, last
int number
}

contact = json_deserialized!Contact(json_string);

Is something like that possible?

Check out Vibe.D

http://vibed.org/api/vibe.data.json/deserializeJson

This is exactly what you are looking for I believe.

For example I have the following code which works:

import vibe.d;

struct Foo {
   string bar;
   int   num;
}


void deserializeExample() {
       Json js = Json.emptyObject;
       js.bar = "Hello world!";
       js.num = 42;

       Foo afoo = deserializeJson!Foo( js );

       assert( afoo.bar == "Hello world!");
       assert( afoo.num == 42 );
}
