Is there a way to obtain field and method names (as strings) or assign to fields (of structs or classes) if the string is a name which is only known at runtime?

For instance, could I write a generic function to reconstruct any object of any type from a JSON object?

Yes, you can use __traits(allMembers) at compile time to build a runtime function that does the setting. .tupleof can do it too, which is what I used in the fromUrlParam function in my web.d that populates a struct from an associative array of runtime strings:
