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

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))

其他回答

另一种选择是将JSON转储打包到它自己的类中:

import json

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

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

或者,更好的是,从JsonSerializable类继承FileItem类:

import json

class JsonSerializable(object):
    def toJson(self):
        return json.dumps(self.__dict__)

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


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

测试:

>>> f = FileItem('/foo/bar')
>>> f.toJson()
'{"fname": "/foo/bar"}'
>>> f
'{"fname": "/foo/bar"}'
>>> str(f) # string coercion
'{"fname": "/foo/bar"}'

你知道预期产量是多少吗?例如,这个可以吗?

>>> f  = FileItem("/foo/bar")
>>> magic(f)
'{"fname": "/foo/bar"}'

在这种情况下,你只需调用json.dumps(f.__dict__)。

如果您想要更多自定义输出,那么您必须继承JSONEncoder并实现您自己的自定义序列化。

对于一个简单的例子,请参见下面。

>>> from json import JSONEncoder
>>> class MyEncoder(JSONEncoder):
        def default(self, o):
            return o.__dict__    

>>> MyEncoder().encode(f)
'{"fname": "/foo/bar"}'

然后你把这个类作为cls kwarg传递给json.dumps()方法:

json.dumps(cls=MyEncoder)

如果还想解码,则必须向JSONDecoder类提供一个自定义object_hook。例如:

>>> def from_json(json_object):
        if 'fname' in json_object:
            return FileItem(json_object['fname'])
>>> f = JSONDecoder(object_hook = from_json).decode('{"fname": "/foo/bar"}')
>>> f
<__main__.FileItem object at 0x9337fac>
>>> 

对于更复杂的类,您可以考虑使用jsonpickle工具:

jsonpickle is a Python library for serialization and deserialization of complex Python objects to and from JSON. The standard Python libraries for encoding Python into JSON, such as the stdlib’s json, simplejson, and demjson, can only handle Python primitives that have a direct JSON equivalent (e.g. dicts, lists, strings, ints, etc.). jsonpickle builds on top of these libraries and allows more complex data structures to be serialized to JSON. jsonpickle is highly configurable and extendable–allowing the user to choose the JSON backend and add additional backends.

首先,我们需要使我们的对象符合JSON,这样我们就可以使用标准JSON模块转储它。我是这样做的:

def serialize(o):
    if isinstance(o, dict):
        return {k:serialize(v) for k,v in o.items()}
    if isinstance(o, list):
        return [serialize(e) for e in o]
    if isinstance(o, bytes):
        return o.decode("utf-8")
    return o

我们经常在日志文件中转储JSON格式的复杂字典。虽然大多数字段携带重要信息,但我们不太关心内置的类对象(例如子进程)。Popen对象)。由于存在这些不可序列化的对象,对json.dumps()的调用会失败。

为了解决这个问题,我构建了一个小函数来转储对象的字符串表示形式,而不是转储对象本身。如果您正在处理的数据结构嵌套太多,您可以指定嵌套的最大级别/深度。

from time import time

def safe_serialize(obj , max_depth = 2):

    max_level = max_depth

    def _safe_serialize(obj , current_level = 0):

        nonlocal max_level

        # If it is a list
        if isinstance(obj , list):

            if current_level >= max_level:
                return "[...]"

            result = list()
            for element in obj:
                result.append(_safe_serialize(element , current_level + 1))
            return result

        # If it is a dict
        elif isinstance(obj , dict):

            if current_level >= max_level:
                return "{...}"

            result = dict()
            for key , value in obj.items():
                result[f"{_safe_serialize(key , current_level + 1)}"] = _safe_serialize(value , current_level + 1)
            return result

        # If it is an object of builtin class
        elif hasattr(obj , "__dict__"):
            if hasattr(obj , "__repr__"):
                result = f"{obj.__repr__()}_{int(time())}"
            else:
                try:
                    result = f"{obj.__class__.__name__}_object_{int(time())}"
                except:
                    result = f"object_{int(time())}"
            return result

        # If it is anything else
        else:
            return obj

    return _safe_serialize(obj)

由于字典也可以有不可序列化的键,转储它们的类名或对象表示将导致所有键都具有相同的名称,这将抛出错误,因为所有键都需要有唯一的名称,这就是为什么当前时间Since epoch被int(time())附加到对象名称。

可以使用以下具有不同级别/深度的嵌套字典来测试该函数

d = {
    "a" : {
        "a1" : {
            "a11" : {
                "a111" : "some_value" ,
                "a112" : "some_value" ,
            } ,
            "a12" : {
                "a121" : "some_value" ,
                "a122" : "some_value" ,
            } ,
        } ,
        "a2" : {
            "a21" : {
                "a211" : "some_value" ,
                "a212" : "some_value" ,
            } ,
            "a22" : {
                "a221" : "some_value" ,
                "a222" : "some_value" ,
            } ,
        } ,
    } ,
    "b" : {
        "b1" : {
            "b11" : {
                "b111" : "some_value" ,
                "b112" : "some_value" ,
            } ,
            "b12" : {
                "b121" : "some_value" ,
                "b122" : "some_value" ,
            } ,
        } ,
        "b2" : {
            "b21" : {
                "b211" : "some_value" ,
                "b212" : "some_value" ,
            } ,
            "b22" : {
                "b221" : "some_value" ,
                "b222" : "some_value" ,
            } ,
        } ,
    } ,
    "c" : subprocess.Popen("ls -l".split() , stdout = subprocess.PIPE , stderr = subprocess.PIPE) ,
}

执行以下命令将会得到-

print("LEVEL 3")
print(json.dumps(safe_serialize(d , 3) , indent = 4))

print("\n\n\nLEVEL 2")
print(json.dumps(safe_serialize(d , 2) , indent = 4))

print("\n\n\nLEVEL 1")
print(json.dumps(safe_serialize(d , 1) , indent = 4))

结果:

LEVEL 3
{
    "a": {
        "a1": {
            "a11": "{...}",
            "a12": "{...}"
        },
        "a2": {
            "a21": "{...}",
            "a22": "{...}"
        }
    },
    "b": {
        "b1": {
            "b11": "{...}",
            "b12": "{...}"
        },
        "b2": {
            "b21": "{...}",
            "b22": "{...}"
        }
    },
    "c": "<Popen: returncode: None args: ['ls', '-l']>"
}



LEVEL 2
{
    "a": {
        "a1": "{...}",
        "a2": "{...}"
    },
    "b": {
        "b1": "{...}",
        "b2": "{...}"
    },
    "c": "<Popen: returncode: None args: ['ls', '-l']>"
}



LEVEL 1
{
    "a": "{...}",
    "b": "{...}",
    "c": "<Popen: returncode: None args: ['ls', '-l']>"
}
