 As this worked out very well, and I had too many model's so I built our own source generator using a console app as I was using .NET6 where the source generators are still experimental. And this whole implementation brought down our app launch time from 60+ seconds to less than 20 seconds. Btw, the properties inside the Model used to change very rarely. So when they did, we used to run the generator again and copy the files. And we ensure these generated files should never be changed manually and named them something like Foo.g.cs which helps me review the PR's easily from the team. And ofcourse, I wrote an API to return the properties and their metadata in the way that I need so that my generator can generate the classes for me.

 I read in multiple blogs that .NET invested a lot in performance improvement using ReadOnlySpan over the years. I was wondering if we can still make this better. So I tried again with ChatGPT help. Now compared to V1, V2 had at least 40% improvement over V1. 
 
-I renamed the interface like

- public interface IObject

-    object GetValue(string propertyName);
-    T GetValue<T>(string propertyName); // I skipped the implementation of this in this post. Please find that in source code.
