Answer 1

This is how one can get list of fieldnames and its value of a case class:
First, using reflection, get fields info as follows -

val TUPLE2_OF_FIELDNAME_TO_GETTERS = typeOf[].members
.filter(!_.isMethod)
.map(x => (x.name.toString, classOf[].getDeclaredMethod(x.name.toString.trim)))

How to use it?

getFieldNameAndValue(obj: ): Seq[(String, String)] {
  var output = Seq[(String, String)]()
 for(fieldToGetter <- TUPLE2_OF_FIELDNAME_TO_GETTERS) {
      val fieldNameAsString = fieldToGetter._1
      val getter = fieldToGetter._2
      val fieldValue = getter.invoke(obj).toString
      output += (fieldName, fieldValue)
    }
}
