# Module :: reflect_tools

Runtime type reflection system providing traits, descriptors, and utilities for dynamic inspection of Rust types. Enables introspection of type names, sizes, elements, and structure at runtime without compile-time knowledge of the concrete type.

println!( "{}", entity.len() );          // 3
println!( "{}", entity.is_container() ); // true
for kv in entity.elements()
{
  println!( "{:?}", kv );
