Mirror (programming): Applications, Languages that use mirrors & Benefits

In computer programming, a mirror is a reflection mechanism that is completely decoupled from the object whose structure is being introspected. This is as opposed to traditional reflection, for example in Java, where one introspects an object using methods from the object itself (e.g. java.lang.Object::getClass() to get a java.lang.Class<?>).
