如何使一个Python类序列化?

class FileItem:
    def __init__(self, fname):
        self.fname = fname

尝试序列化为JSON:

>>> import json
>>> x = FileItem('/foo/bar')
>>> json.dumps(x)
TypeError: Object of type 'FileItem' is not JSON serializable

当前回答

如果你正在使用Python3.5+,你可以使用jsons。(PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/jsons/)它将把你的对象(及其所有属性递归地)转换为字典。

import jsons

a_dict = jsons.dump(your_object)

或者如果你想要一个字符串:

a_str = jsons.dumps(your_object)

或者你的类实现了jsons。JsonSerializable:

a_dict = your_object.json

其他回答

除了Onur的答案,你可能想要处理如下的datetime类型。(以便处理:'datetime. time.)Datetime对象没有属性dict异常。)

def datetime_option(value):
    if isinstance(value, datetime.date):
        return value.timestamp()
    else:
        return value.__dict__

用法:

def toJSON(self):
    return json.dumps(self, default=datetime_option, sort_keys=True, indent=4)

下面是一个简单功能的简单解决方案:

.toJSON()方法

实现一个序列化器方法,而不是一个JSON可序列化类:

import json

class Object:
    def toJSON(self):
        return json.dumps(self, default=lambda o: o.__dict__, 
            sort_keys=True, indent=4)

所以你只需调用它来序列化:

me = Object()
me.name = "Onur"
me.age = 35
me.dog = Object()
me.dog.name = "Apollo"

print(me.toJSON())

将输出:

{
    "age": 35,
    "dog": {
        "name": "Apollo"
    },
    "name": "Onur"
}

要添加另一个选项:您可以使用attrs包和asdict方法。

class ObjectEncoder(JSONEncoder):
    def default(self, o):
        return attr.asdict(o)

json.dumps(objects, cls=ObjectEncoder)

然后再转换回去

def from_json(o):
    if '_obj_name' in o:
        type_ = o['_obj_name']
        del o['_obj_name']
        return globals()[type_](**o)
    else:
        return o

data = JSONDecoder(object_hook=from_json).decode(data)

类看起来像这样

@attr.s
class Foo(object):
    x = attr.ib()
    _obj_name = attr.ib(init=False, default='Foo')

Json在它可以打印的对象方面受到限制,而jsonpickle(你可能需要一个PIP安装jsonpickle)在它不能缩进文本方面受到限制。如果你想检查一个你不能改变类的对象的内容,我仍然找不到比:

 import json
 import jsonpickle
 ...
 print  json.dumps(json.loads(jsonpickle.encode(object)), indent=2)

注意:他们仍然不能打印对象方法。

基于Quinten Cabo的回答:

def sterilize(obj):
    """Make an object more ameniable to dumping as json
    """
    if type(obj) in (str, float, int, bool, type(None)):
        return obj
    elif isinstance(obj, dict):
        return {k: sterilize(v) for k, v in obj.items()}
    list_ret = []
    dict_ret = {}
    for a in dir(obj):
        if a == '__iter__' and callable(obj.__iter__):
            list_ret.extend([sterilize(v) for v in obj])
        elif a == '__dict__':
            dict_ret.update({k: sterilize(v) for k, v in obj.__dict__.items() if k not in ['__module__', '__dict__', '__weakref__', '__doc__']})
        elif a not in ['__doc__', '__module__']:
            aval = getattr(obj, a)
            if type(aval) in (str, float, int, bool, type(None)):
                dict_ret[a] = aval
            elif a != '__class__' and a != '__objclass__' and isinstance(aval, type):
                dict_ret[a] = sterilize(aval)
    if len(list_ret) == 0:
        if len(dict_ret) == 0:
            return repr(obj)
        return dict_ret
    else:
        if len(dict_ret) == 0:
            return list_ret
    return (list_ret, dict_ret)

区别在于

Works for any iterable instead of just list and tuple (it works for NumPy arrays, etc.) Works for dynamic types (ones that contain a __dict__). Includes native types float and None so they don't get converted to string. Classes that have __dict__ and members will mostly work (if the __dict__ and member names collide, you will only get one - likely the member) Classes that are lists and have members will look like a tuple of the list and a dictionary Python3 (that isinstance() call may be the only thing that needs changing)
