Is here any elegant way to combine serialization and deserialization code?

[NukeBird]

I know everything can be much easier with reflection, but sadly C++ doesn't have it

When I'm writing code I noticed I'm repeating myself, serialization and deserialization looks very similar

How can I serealize and deserialize things in elegant way? For example lets say we want to serialize this:

struct Human
{
std::string name;
int age;
};

and then deserialize it back. As I said earlier, if it's possible I wanna combine serialization and deserialization code

thanks for your help in advance!

black macro magic?

Yes. We have a macro for simplifying the enum conversion, see https://github.com/nlohmann/json#specializing-enum-conversion. If you have an idea to achieve something similar, please let me know!
