Basically, the problem is deserializing a scene-graph from a json text
file. The architecture of my scene-graph enforces that some
template-function will be instantiated for every symbol that is
reflected. So what I'm trying to avoid is having to store all of the
instantiated type information in a central repository.
Imagine I gave you a static library, and a json file, and I told you
that all the necessary symbols to deserialize that json file were in
that static lib. If we both had the same serialization library that was
used, you would be able to deserialize the json file without me giving
you any source, or having you register all the needed types yourself in
some centralized type library.
I'm not sure how your serialization library works or is intended to
work. But at some point you need a static type to be able to do
something with the deserialized data.
In my serialization [1] it's possible (de)serialize any types without
registering them. The only exception is when serializing an object
through a base class reference, then the subclass(es) need to be registered.
