Return typename using function, template metaprogramming or any other solution

I am writing a caching library as a node-addon to be used as a universal cache across node clusters, and am using boost::message_queue to pass data from one process to another, but I want to support transfer of types, so I have managed to serialize and get typenames of the data being transferred using std::is_same so now on the receiving end I have values: "int" "char" "double". I need to somehow transform this string into a typename to pass to the template struct to correctly read data into the structure from the message queue. I tried using template metaprogramming like shown here but not sure if this is the correct way to go about things.

Used like:

AccessQueue<get_typename(some_type_string)> data_packet;
// proceed to read data from message_queue

Serialization of type names:

std::array<char, 16> MemShared::get_cpp_type() {
    std::array<char, 16> result{ 0 };
    if (std::is_same<T, int>::value) {
        safe_copy(result, "int");
    }
    else if (std::is_same<T, double>::value) {
        safe_copy(result, "double");
    }
    else if (std::is_same<T, char>::value) {
        safe_copy(result, "char");
    }
    return result;
}
// safe_copy copies data into the std::array and ensure NULL termination
