另一个有趣的方法来自com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper

byte[] data = new ObjectMapper().writeValueAsBytes(JAVA_OBJECT_HERE)

Maven的依赖

    <groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
    <artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
</dependency>

如果你使用Java >= 7，你可以使用try和资源改进接受的解决方案:

private byte[] convertToBytes(Object object) throws IOException {
    try (ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
         ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(bos)) {
        out.writeObject(object);
        return bos.toByteArray();
    } 
}

反过来说:

private Object convertFromBytes(byte[] bytes) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
    try (ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes);
         ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(bis)) {
        return in.readObject();
    } 
}

如果你使用spring，在spring-core中有一个util类可用。你可以简单地

import org.springframework.util.SerializationUtils;

byte[] bytes = SerializationUtils.serialize(anyObject);
Object object = SerializationUtils.deserialize(bytes);

Java 8+的代码示例:

public class Person implements Serializable {

private String lastName;
private String firstName;

public Person() {
}

public Person(String firstName, String lastName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;
}

public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
    this.firstName = firstName;
}

public String getFirstName() {
    return firstName;
}

public String getLastName() {
    return lastName;
}

public void setLastName(String lastName) {
    this.lastName = lastName;
}

@Override
public String toString() {
    return "firstName: " + firstName + ", lastName: " + lastName;
}
}


public interface PersonMarshaller {
default Person fromStream(InputStream inputStream) {
    try (ObjectInputStream objectInputStream = new ObjectInputStream(inputStream)) {
        Person person= (Person) objectInputStream.readObject();
        return person;
    } catch (IOException | ClassNotFoundException e) {
        System.err.println(e.getMessage());
        return null;
    }
}

default OutputStream toStream(Person person) {
    try (OutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream()) {
        ObjectOutput objectOutput = new ObjectOutputStream(outputStream);
        objectOutput.writeObject(person);
        objectOutput.flush();
        return outputStream;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        System.err.println(e.getMessage());
        return null;
    }

}

}

这只是一个被接受的答案的优化代码形式，以防有人想在生产中使用它:

    public static void byteArrayOps() throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException{

    String str="123";
     byte[] yourBytes = null;

    // Convert to byte[]

    try(ByteArrayOutputStream bos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
            ObjectOutputStream out =  new ObjectOutputStream(bos);) {


      out.writeObject(str);
      out.flush();
      yourBytes = bos.toByteArray();

    } finally {

    }

    // convert back to Object

    try(ByteArrayInputStream bis = new ByteArrayInputStream(yourBytes);
            ObjectInput in = new ObjectInputStream(bis);) {

      Object o = in.readObject(); 

    } finally {

    }




}

Spring框架org.springframework.util.SerializationUtils

byte[] data = SerializationUtils.serialize(obj);
