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

只需要像这样添加to_json方法到你的类中:

def to_json(self):
  return self.message # or how you want it to be serialized

然后将这段代码(来自这个答案)添加到所有内容的顶部:

from json import JSONEncoder

def _default(self, obj):
    return getattr(obj.__class__, "to_json", _default.default)(obj)

_default.default = JSONEncoder().default
JSONEncoder.default = _default

这将会在导入json模块时monkey-patch,所以 JSONEncoder.default()自动检查特殊的to_json() 方法,并使用它对找到的对象进行编码。

就像Onur说的,但是这次你不需要更新项目中的每个json.dumps()。

其他回答

这对我来说很有效:

class JsonSerializable(object):

    def serialize(self):
        return json.dumps(self.__dict__)

    def __repr__(self):
        return self.serialize()

    @staticmethod
    def dumper(obj):
        if "serialize" in dir(obj):
            return obj.serialize()

        return obj.__dict__

然后

class FileItem(JsonSerializable):
    ...

and

log.debug(json.dumps(<my object>, default=JsonSerializable.dumper, indent=2))

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')

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)

一个非常简单的一行程序解决方案

import json

json.dumps(your_object, default=lambda __o: __o.__dict__)

结束!

下面是一个测试。

import json
from dataclasses import dataclass


@dataclass
class Company:
    id: int
    name: str

@dataclass
class User:
    id: int
    name: str
    email: str
    company: Company


company = Company(id=1, name="Example Ltd")
user = User(id=1, name="John Doe", email="john@doe.net", company=company)


json.dumps(user, default=lambda __o: __o.__dict__)

输出:

{
  "id": 1, 
  "name": "John Doe", 
  "email": "john@doe.net", 
  "company": {
    "id": 1, 
    "name": "Example Ltd"
  }
}

如果你不介意为它安装一个包,你可以使用json-tricks:

pip install json-tricks

之后,你只需要从json_tricks导入dump(s)而不是json,它通常会工作:

from json_tricks import dumps
json_str = dumps(cls_instance, indent=4)

这将给

{
        "__instance_type__": [
                "module_name.test_class",
                "MyTestCls"
        ],
        "attributes": {
                "attr": "val",
                "dct_attr": {
                        "hello": 42
                }
        }
}

基本上就是这样!


这在一般情况下会很有效。有一些例外,例如,如果特殊的事情发生在__new__中,或者更多的元类魔法正在发生。

显然加载也可以(否则有什么意义):

from json_tricks import loads
json_str = loads(json_str)

这确实假设module_name.test_class。MyTestCls可以导入,并且没有以不兼容的方式进行更改。您将返回一个实例,而不是某个字典或其他东西,它应该是您转储的实例的相同副本。

如果你想自定义一些东西是如何(反)序列化的,你可以添加特殊的方法到你的类,像这样:

class CustomEncodeCls:
        def __init__(self):
                self.relevant = 42
                self.irrelevant = 37

        def __json_encode__(self):
                # should return primitive, serializable types like dict, list, int, string, float...
                return {'relevant': self.relevant}

        def __json_decode__(self, **attrs):
                # should initialize all properties; note that __init__ is not called implicitly
                self.relevant = attrs['relevant']
                self.irrelevant = 12

其中仅序列化部分属性参数,作为示例。

作为免费的奖励,你可以获得numpy数组、日期和时间、有序地图的(反)序列化,以及在json中包含注释的能力。
