[erlang-questions] RecordA serialization ... time ... deserialization to RecordB?

[Juan Jose Comellas]

If what you need is a way to access record fields by name during runtime, I
have a module called dynarec in a project I'm working on that will very
easily allow you to do it. You can find it here:
https://github.com/jcomellas/mlapi/blob/master/src/dynarec.erl

Basically, what you do is add the following preprocessor directive to the
module where you keep your records:

-compile({parse_transform, dynarec}).*
*
And then on that module you'll get the following functions automatically
inserted for all the records (and their fields) that were defined in the
module:

get_value(field_name, Record) ->
    Record#record_name.field_name.

set_value(field_name, Value, Record) when is_record(Record, record_name) ->
    Record#record_name{field_name = Value}.

records() ->
    [record_name1, record_name2, ...].

fields(record_name) ->
    [field_name1, field_name2, ...].

new_record(record_name) ->
    #record_name{}.

Hope it helps.

Juanjo
