What is Reflection?
Reflection is the ability of a program to inspect and manipulate its own structure at runtime. It is commonly used for:
- Accessing metadata about types, methods, and properties.
- Dynamically invoking methods and accessing fields.
- Building frameworks and tools like serializers and ORMs.
Key Point: Reflection is part of the System.Reflection namespace.
