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

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"}'

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)

这是一个小库,它将一个对象及其所有子对象序列化为JSON,并将其解析回来:

https://github.com/tobiasholler/PyJSONSerialization/

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。

免责声明:我创建了json_tricks,因为我遇到了与您相同的问题。

加拉科给出了一个非常简洁的答案。我需要修复一些小的东西,但这是有效的:

Code

# Your custom class
class MyCustom(object):
    def __json__(self):
        return {
            'a': self.a,
            'b': self.b,
            '__python__': 'mymodule.submodule:MyCustom.from_json',
        }

    to_json = __json__  # supported by simplejson

    @classmethod
    def from_json(cls, json):
        obj = cls()
        obj.a = json['a']
        obj.b = json['b']
        return obj

# Dumping and loading
import simplejson

obj = MyCustom()
obj.a = 3
obj.b = 4

json = simplejson.dumps(obj, for_json=True)

# Two-step loading
obj2_dict = simplejson.loads(json)
obj2 = MyCustom.from_json(obj2_dict)

# Make sure we have the correct thing
assert isinstance(obj2, MyCustom)
assert obj2.__dict__ == obj.__dict__

注意,加载需要两个步骤。现在是__python__属性 未使用。

这种情况有多普遍?

使用AlJohri的方法,我检查了流行的方法:

序列化(Python -> JSON):

To_json: 266,595 on 2018-06-27 toJSON: 96,307 on 2018-06-27 __json__: 8504 on 2018-06-27 For_json: 6937 on 2018-06-27

反序列化(JSON -> Python):

From_json: 226,101 on 2018-06-27

你们为什么要把事情搞得这么复杂?这里有一个简单的例子:

#!/usr/bin/env python3

import json
from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class Person:
    first: str
    last: str
    age: int

    @property
    def __json__(self):
        return {
            "name": f"{self.first} {self.last}",
            "age": self.age
        }

john = Person("John", "Doe", 42)
print(json.dumps(john, indent=4, default=lambda x: x.__json__))

这样你也可以序列化嵌套类,因为__json__返回一个python对象而不是字符串。不需要使用JSONEncoder,因为使用简单lambda的默认参数也可以很好地工作。

我使用@property代替了一个简单的函数,因为这样感觉更自然和现代。@dataclass也只是一个例子,它也适用于“普通”类。
