I'd like to do something like this

class Contact
{
string first, last
int number
}

contact = json_deserialized!Contact(json_string);

Is something like that possible?

Check out Vibe.D

http://vibed.org/api/vibe.data.json/deserializeJson

This is exactly what you are looking for I believe.

For example I have the following code which works:

import vibe.d;

struct Foo {
    string bar;
    int	 num;
}


void deserializeExample() {
        Json js = Json.emptyObject;
        js.bar = "Hello world!";
        js.num = 42;

        Foo afoo = deserializeJson!Foo( js );

        assert( afoo.bar == "Hello world!");
        assert( afoo.num == 42 );
}

Yes, there is quite thorough reflection in D. Serialisers are plentiful.

If you need something more advanced you can try Orange:

Soon (hopefully) to be integrated to Phobos as std.serialization.
