Question
Sorry about the vocabulary question, but I'm writing my master thesis and it's a pain to repeat "frameworks that support dynamic class creation" again and again. Is there a term for that?
Some clarification: I mean that you can create a class at runtime, i.e., dynamically. For example, .NET supports this with the System.Reflection
namespace.
Thanks :)
Haha, thanks everyone for the suggestions. I'm not going to pick an answer yet in case there is a term for this and someone finds it, but if there isn't I'll definitely make one up. Thanks. :)
Solution
DCC Framework, Invent an acronym.
OTHER TIPS
Dynamic class creation is covered by the term "metaprogramming", although metaprogramming includes more than that.
It's more the development language rather than framework
A reflective programing language enables the determination of object type at runtime. Most (if not all) include some sort of class loading mechanism to dynamically create objects at runtime as a result.
You could try...
Reflective Framework?
Introspective Frameworks?
