;Task: The goal is to get the properties of an object, as names, values or both.

Some languages support dynamic properties, which in general can only be inspected if a class' public API includes a way of listing them.

Fortran

Fortran offers services somewhat as desired, at two levels. Suppose X is the name of some variable. Then, WRITE (6,) X would send to file unit six (the modern default unit number for "standard output"), the value of X, whatever its type - be it an array, a complex number, an integer, a character variable, or, (with F90 and later) an aggregate or "structure", all with appropriate formats for each part, single or double precision, ''etc''. This is the "free-format" or "list-directed" style, signified by the asterisk in place of a format code or the label of a FORMAT statement. With arrays, repeated values are shown with a repetition count, as in 66303 meaning sixty-six values of 303. Alas, the @ symbol is not used. Thus, inspection of the style of such output will reveal whether X was an integer, ''etc''.

The second level requires slightly more effort: a declaration such as NAMELIST /STUFF/ X enables the use of a statement such as WRITE (6,STUFF) whereupon each item's value will be prefixed with its name in the style of an assignment statement, as in X = 2.7182818 if X were to be the name of a simple floating-point variable.

There may be a list of items, not just the lone X and these proceedings apply to READ statements also.

JavaScript

There are multiple ways of getting property names, each of which include different subsets of an object's properties, such as enumerable or inherited properties. Properties in JavaScript can be enumerable or non-enumerable; enumerable properties are accessable when looping over the object with for. Object.getOwnPropertyNames().

var obj = Object.create({
    name: 'proto',
    proto: true,
    doNothing: function() {}
  }, {
    name: {value: 'obj', writable: true, configurable: true, enumerable: true},
    obj: {value: true, writable: true, configurable: true, enumerable: true},
    'non-enum': {value: 'non-enumerable', writable: true, enumerable: false},
    doStuff: {value: function() {}, enumerable: true}
});

// get enumerable properties on an object and its ancestors
function get_property_names(obj) {
    var properties = [];
    for (var p in obj) {
        properties.push(p);
    }
    return properties;
}

get_property_names(obj);
//["name", "obj", "doStuff", "proto", "doNothing"]

Object.getOwnPropertyNames(obj);
//["name", "obj", "non-enum", "doStuff"]

Object.keys(obj);
//["name", "obj", "doStuff"]

Object.entries(obj);
//[["name", "obj"], ["obj", true], ["doStuff", function()]]

ooRexx

Whereas in PL/I variables habe a (declared) type, in REXX and ooRexx a "typeless" variable can be assigned a string or object, respectively.

The datatype builtin function can be used to determine the data type of a given string.

Many of these options are also supported by other REXX implementations.

Perl

In Perl's bare-bones native OO system, an object is sometimes nothing more than a hash blessed into a class. It's properties could be simply listed by iterating over the keys. However more complex data structures can be present, so the safest option is always to use Data::Dumper to examine an object.

{
     package Point;
     use Class::Spiffy -base;

     field 'x';
     field 'y';
}

{
     package Circle;
     use base qw(Point);
     field 'r';
}

my $p1 = Point->new(x => 8, y => -5);
my $c1 = Circle->new(r => 4);
my $c2 = Circle->new(x => 1, y => 2, r => 3);

use Data::Dumper;
say Dumper $p1;
say Dumper $c1;
say Dumper $c2;

{{out}}

$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'x' => 8,
                 'y' => -5
               }, 'Point' );

$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'r' => 4
               }, 'Circle' );

$VAR1 = bless( {
                 'r' => 3,
                 'x' => 1,
                 'y' => 2
               }, 'Circle' );

Perl 6

You can get a list of an object's attributes (instance variables) using .^attributes, which is part of the [https://docs.perl6.org/type/Metamodel$COLON$COLONClassHOW Meta Object Protocol]..

Each is represented as an Attribute object that contains a bunch of info:

class Foo {
    has $!a = now;
    has Str $.b;
    has Int $.c is rw;
}

my $object = Foo.new: b => "Hello", c => 42;

for $object.^attributes {
    say join ", ", .name, .readonly, .container.^name, .get_value($object);
}

{{out}}


$!a, True, Any, Instant:1470517602.295992
$!b, True, Str, Hello
$!c, False, Int, 42

Public attributes (in this case, $.b and $.c) are really just attributes for which the compiler also auto-generates a method of the same name. See [[Reflection/List_methods#Perl_6]].

PHP

<?
class Foo {
}
$obj = new Foo();
$obj->bar = 42;
$obj->baz = true;

var_dump(get_object_vars($obj));
?>

array(2) {
  ["bar"]=>

PL/I

PUT DATA(X) will send to SYSOUT the value(s) of X prefixed by the name(s), formatted appropriately for single/double bit/integer/real/complex, character, ''etc.'' whether X is a single datum, an array, a data structure, ''etc.'' A list of items may be specified, not just the single X and for input, the word is GET. Similarly, PUT STRING(TEXT) DATA(X) will place such output in a character variable, which may have to be large...

PowerShell

In PowerShell '''everything''' is an object. To find any type of member of any object use the Get-Member Cmdlet.

Here we find the properties of a [DateTime] object:


Get-Date | Get-Member -MemberType Property

   TypeName: System.DateTime

Name        MemberType Definition
----        ---------- ----------

DayOfWeek   Property   System.DayOfWeek DayOfWeek {get;}
DayOfYear   Property   int DayOfYear {get;}
Hour        Property   int Hour {get;}
Kind        Property   System.DateTimeKind Kind {get;}

REXX

version 1

(This REXX version is modeled after the '''PL/I''' entry.)

The '''say''' instruction can display a value (its contents) to the console (terminal) as well as its length (the number of characters in its value).

Since ''everything'' in REXX is a character string, the ''type'' of the variable (character) need not be explicitly expressed.

A simplistic example:

j=2
abc.j= -4.12


say 'variable abc.2 (length' length(abc.2)')='  abc.2

version 2

/* REXX shows the "equivalent" to PL/I's PUT DATA for a simple variable */
/* put_data2('a.') to show all a.tail values isn't that easy :-)        */
j=2
abc.j= -4.12
Say put_data('abc.2')     /* Put Data(abc(2)) */
string=put_data('abc.2')  /* Put string(string) Data(abc(2)) */
Say string
Exit
put_data:
Parse Arg variable
return(variable'='''value(variable)'''')

Tcl

Tcl objects do not have properties exactly (externally visible variables), though a common idiom pioneered by Tk is options exposed by the configure and cget commands.

For objects supporting this protocol, you can list all options by invoking the configure method without arguments (result split over multiple lines for readability):

% package require Tk
8.6.5
% . configure
{-bd -borderwidth} {-borderwidth borderWidth BorderWidth 0 0} {-class class Class Toplevel Tclsh}
 {-menu menu Menu {} {}} {-relief relief Relief flat flat} {-screen screen Screen {} {}} {-use use Use {} {}}
 {-background background Background #d9d9d9 #d9d9d9} {-bg -background} {-colormap colormap Colormap {} {}}
 {-container container Container 0 0} {-cursor cursor Cursor {} {}} {-height height Height 0 0}
 {-highlightbackground highlightBackground HighlightBackground #d9d9d9 #d9d9d9}
 {-highlightcolor highlightColor HighlightColor #000000 #000000}
 {-highlightthickness highlightThickness HighlightThickness 0 0} {-padx padX Pad 0 0} {-pady padY Pad 0 0}
 {-takefocus takeFocus TakeFocus 0 0} {-visual visual Visual {} {}} {-width width Width 0 0}

Two-element sublists (eg -bd -borderwidth) represent aliases, and five-element sublists are of the form {optionName dbName dbClass defaultValue currentValue}. dbName and dbClass are related to how the option is specified in the option database.

Simply listing the option names is like this:

% lmap o [. configure] {if {[llength $o] == 2} continue else {lindex $o 0}}
-borderwidth -class -menu -relief -screen -use -background -colormap -container -cursor -height
 -highlightbackground -highlightcolor -highlightthickness -padx -pady -takefocus -visual -width

zkl

In zkl, properties are static read only informational data.

Every object has a "properties" method, which returns a list of property names [for that object].

properties:=List.properties;
properties.println();
List(1,2,3).property(properties[0]).println();   // get value
List(1,2,3).Property(properties[0])().println(); // method that gets value
List(1,2,3).BaseClass(properties[0]).println();  // another way to get value
