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

我有了自己的解决办法。使用此方法,将任何文档(字典、列表、ObjectId等)传递给序列化。

def getSerializable(doc):
    # check if it's a list
    if isinstance(doc, list):
        for i, val in enumerate(doc):
            doc[i] = getSerializable(doc[i])
        return doc

    # check if it's a dict
    if isinstance(doc, dict):
        for key in doc.keys():
            doc[key] = getSerializable(doc[key])
        return doc

    # Process ObjectId
    if isinstance(doc, ObjectId):
        doc = str(doc)
        return doc

    # Use any other custom serializting stuff here...

    # For the rest of stuff
    return doc

解决这个问题有很多方法。'ObjDict' (pip install object)是另一个。重点是提供像javascript一样的对象,它也可以像字典一样最好地处理从JSON加载的数据,但还有其他功能也很有用。这为原始问题提供了另一种解决方案。

Jsonweb似乎是我的最佳解决方案。参见http://www.jsonweb.info/en/latest/

from jsonweb.encode import to_object, dumper

@to_object()
class DataModel(object):
  def __init__(self, id, value):
   self.id = id
   self.value = value

>>> data = DataModel(5, "foo")
>>> dumper(data)
'{"__type__": "DataModel", "id": 5, "value": "foo"}'

我最喜欢Lost Koder的方法。当我试图序列化成员/方法不可序列化的更复杂的对象时,我遇到了问题。这是我的实现,工作在更多的对象:

class Serializer(object):
    @staticmethod
    def serialize(obj):
        def check(o):
            for k, v in o.__dict__.items():
                try:
                    _ = json.dumps(v)
                    o.__dict__[k] = v
                except TypeError:
                    o.__dict__[k] = str(v)
            return o
        return json.dumps(check(obj).__dict__, indent=2)

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)

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。
