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

正如在许多其他答案中提到的,您可以将函数传递给json。转储将不是默认支持的类型之一的对象转换为受支持的类型。令人惊讶的是,他们都没有提到最简单的情况,即使用内置函数vars将对象转换为包含其所有属性的dict:

json.dumps(obj, default=vars)

注意,这只涵盖了基本的情况,如果你需要对某些类型进行更具体的序列化(例如排除某些属性或没有__dict__属性的对象),你需要使用自定义函数或JSONEncoder,如其他答案中所述。

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"
  }
}

如果你能够安装一个软件包,我建议你试试dill,它在我的项目中工作得很好。这个包的一个优点是它具有与pickle相同的接口,因此如果您已经在项目中使用了pickle,则可以简单地替换为dill并查看脚本是否运行,而无需更改任何代码。所以这是一个非常便宜的解决方案!

(完全反披露:我与莳萝项目没有任何关联,也从未参与过。)

安装包:

pip install dill

然后编辑你的代码导入莳萝而不是pickle:

# import pickle
import dill as pickle

运行脚本,看看它是否有效。(如果是的话,你可能想要清理你的代码,这样你就不再隐藏pickle模块的名字了!)

关于dill可以和不能序列化的数据类型的一些细节,来自项目页面:

dill can pickle the following standard types: none, type, bool, int, long, float, complex, str, unicode, tuple, list, dict, file, buffer, builtin, both old and new style classes, instances of old and new style classes, set, frozenset, array, functions, exceptions dill can also pickle more ‘exotic’ standard types: functions with yields, nested functions, lambdas, cell, method, unboundmethod, module, code, methodwrapper, dictproxy, methoddescriptor, getsetdescriptor, memberdescriptor, wrapperdescriptor, xrange, slice, notimplemented, ellipsis, quit dill cannot yet pickle these standard types: frame, generator, traceback

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

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"
}
