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']>"
}

[注意]:仅在不关心内置类对象的序列化时使用此选项。

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"}'

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。

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.

我选择使用装饰器来解决datetime对象序列化问题。 这是我的代码:

#myjson.py
#Author: jmooremcc 7/16/2017

import json
from datetime import datetime, date, time, timedelta
"""
This module uses decorators to serialize date objects using json
The filename is myjson.py
In another module you simply add the following import statement:
    from myjson import json

json.dumps and json.dump will then correctly serialize datetime and date 
objects
"""

def json_serial(obj):
    """JSON serializer for objects not serializable by default json code"""

    if isinstance(obj, (datetime, date)):
        serial = str(obj)
        return serial
    raise TypeError ("Type %s not serializable" % type(obj))


def FixDumps(fn):
    def hook(obj):
        return fn(obj, default=json_serial)

    return hook

def FixDump(fn):
    def hook(obj, fp):
        return fn(obj,fp, default=json_serial)

    return hook


json.dumps=FixDumps(json.dumps)
json.dump=FixDump(json.dump)


if __name__=="__main__":
    today=datetime.now()
    data={'atime':today, 'greet':'Hello'}
    str=json.dumps(data)
    print str

通过导入上述模块，我的其他模块以正常的方式(没有指定默认关键字)使用json来序列化包含日期时间对象的数据。datetime序列化器代码会自动为json调用。Dumps和json.dump。

TLDR:复制-粘贴下面的选项1或选项2

真正的/完整的答案:让Pythons json模块与你的类一起工作

AKA，求解:json。dump ({"thing": YOUR_CLASS()})

解释:

Yes, a good reliable solution exists No, there is no python "official" solution By official solution, I mean there is no way (as of 2023) to add a method to your class (like toJSON in JavaScript) and/or no way to register your class with the built-in json module. When something like json.dumps([1,2, your_obj]) is executed, python doesn't check a lookup table or object method. I'm not sure why other answers don't explain this The closest official approach is probably andyhasit's answer which is to inherit from a dictionary. However, inheriting from a dictionary doesn't work very well for many custom classes like AdvancedDateTime, or pytorch tensors. The ideal workaround is this: Mutate json.dumps (affects everywhere, even pip modules that import json) Add def __json__(self) method to your class

选项1:让一个模块来做补丁

PIP安装json-fix (扩展+包装版FancyJohn的回答，谢谢@FancyJohn)

your_class_definition.py

import json_fix

class YOUR_CLASS:
    def __json__(self):
        # YOUR CUSTOM CODE HERE
        #    you probably just want to do:
        #        return self.__dict__
        return "a built-in object that is naturally json-able"

这是它。

使用示例:

from your_class_definition import YOUR_CLASS
import json

json.dumps([1,2, YOUR_CLASS()], indent=0)
# '[\n1,\n2,\n"a built-in object that is naturally json-able"\n]'

生成json。dump适用于Numpy数组，Pandas DataFrames和其他第三方对象，请参阅模块(只有大约2行代码，但需要解释)。

它是如何工作的?嗯…

选项2:补丁json。把你自己

注意:这种方法是简化的，它在已知的edgcase上失败(例如:如果你的自定义类继承了dict或其他内置类)，并且它错过了控制外部类的json行为(numpy数组，datetime, dataframes，张量等)。

some_file_thats_imported_before_your_class_definitions.py

# Step: 1
# create the patch
from json import JSONEncoder
def wrapped_default(self, obj):
    return getattr(obj.__class__, "__json__", wrapped_default.default)(obj)
wrapped_default.default = JSONEncoder().default
   
# apply the patch
JSONEncoder.original_default = JSONEncoder.default
JSONEncoder.default = wrapped_default

your_class_definition.py

# Step 2
class YOUR_CLASS:
    def __json__(self, **options):
        # YOUR CUSTOM CODE HERE
        #    you probably just want to do:
        #        return self.__dict__
        return "a built-in object that is natually json-able"
