How do you read the metadata?

[gildor]

There is no official way as I understand.
You can use
https://github.com/Takhion/kotlin-metadata

Also this article from @Eugenio (author of kotlin-metadata) can be interesting for you:

Kotlin-metadata is exactly what I was looking for. And it looks well written 👍🏻. I found something else that worked in the same direction, but isn’t as complete or good. Thanks!

[Eugenio]

FYI I'll release a big update soon that will make it way better

[gildor]

Hope for update of docs too 😬

[Eugenio]

That's part of it ;)

While you’re here @Eugenio, is it possible to get the annotation mirrors for a property, its getter and it’s setter? I haven’t tried yet, but I did notice its tricky in a java Proxy, using the get or set Method reflection reference.

[Eugenio]

@christopher it's possible! do you need it right now, or could you wait a few days?

[christopher]

Hehe, a few days is awesome. Good to know it is possible 👍🏻

[christopher]

@Eugenio I’ve been using kotlin-metadata to write my annotation processor. It’s working very well 👍🏻 😊
