KProperty

KProperty is a Kotlin class that represents a property of a class. It provides a way to access and manipulate properties in a reflection-based manner. KProperty objects can be obtained using Kotlin's reflection API. They allow for dynamic access to property values, checking property types, and even setting property values if the property is mutable. This is particularly useful in scenarios where the structure of the data is not known at compile time, such as in serialization or data binding frameworks. KProperty is part of Kotlin's reflection library, which enables introspection of Kotlin code. It is designed to be type-safe and integrates seamlessly with Kotlin's language features. When you get a KProperty for a specific property, you are essentially getting a reference to that property that can be used programmatically. This contrasts with directly accessing a property using dot notation, which is resolved at compile time. KProperty is an essential tool for developers working with metaprogramming and advanced reflection techniques in Kotlin.
