Answer
Frameworks use Reflection to access and modify object fields based on metadata.
In frameworks like ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) systems, Reflection is used to map database records to Java objects. This involves reading annotations or configurations that describe how database fields correspond to Java fields. The framework then uses Reflection to instantiate objects and populate their fields with database values, even if those fields are private.
