I have been reading the new book Coding in Delphi by Nick Hodges. I just finished the chapters on RTTI and Attributes, and I am understanding some of the basics of RTTI, but I am wondering if anyone has any good examples of using RTTI and or attributes.

    Have a look at the source of Spring4D. You can find it on BitBucket. – pritaeas Mar 20 '14 at 14:20

    Do you understand the advantages of Generics? Generics basically let you perform the same actions on any different type. RTTI is similar, but it goes deeper: it lets you perform the same actions on *the members of* any different type. The classic use case is (de)serialization; that's what it was first added for: to support DFM streaming. But there are plenty of other interesting uses as well... – Mason Wheeler Mar 20 '14 at 16:13

A very good starting point is delphi.about.com. Also you can search on StackOverflow to see questions about Delphi and RTTI tags, to see on what different users from here used RTTI.
