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

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>
>>> 

其他回答

这个类可以做到这一点,它将object转换为标准json。

import json


class Serializer(object):
    @staticmethod
    def serialize(object):
        return json.dumps(object, default=lambda o: o.__dict__.values()[0])

用法:

Serializer.serialize(my_object)

在python2.7和python3中工作。

import json

class Foo(object):
    def __init__(self):
        self.bar = 'baz'
        self._qux = 'flub'

    def somemethod(self):
        pass

def default(instance):
    return {k: v
            for k, v in vars(instance).items()
            if not str(k).startswith('_')}

json_foo = json.dumps(Foo(), default=default)
assert '{"bar": "baz"}' == json_foo

print(json_foo)

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()。

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)

这个函数使用递归迭代遍历字典的每个部分,然后调用非内置类型类的repr()方法。

def sterilize(obj):
    object_type = type(obj)
    if isinstance(obj, dict):
        return {k: sterilize(v) for k, v in obj.items()}
    elif object_type in (list, tuple):
        return [sterilize(v) for v in obj]
    elif object_type in (str, int, bool, float):
        return obj
    else:
        return obj.__repr__()
