自定义序列化和反序列化。

"from_json"(类方法)基于json数据构建一个Model对象。

“反序列化”只能在实例上调用，并将json中的所有数据合并到Model实例中。

"serialize" -递归序列化

需要__write_only__属性来定义只写属性(例如“password_hash”)。

class Serializable(object):
    __exclude__ = ('id',)
    __include__ = ()
    __write_only__ = ()

    @classmethod
    def from_json(cls, json, selfObj=None):
        if selfObj is None:
            self = cls()
        else:
            self = selfObj
        exclude = (cls.__exclude__ or ()) + Serializable.__exclude__
        include = cls.__include__ or ()
        if json:
            for prop, value in json.iteritems():
                # ignore all non user data, e.g. only
                if (not (prop in exclude) | (prop in include)) and isinstance(
                        getattr(cls, prop, None), QueryableAttribute):
                    setattr(self, prop, value)
        return self

    def deserialize(self, json):
        if not json:
            return None
        return self.__class__.from_json(json, selfObj=self)

    @classmethod
    def serialize_list(cls, object_list=[]):
        output = []
        for li in object_list:
            if isinstance(li, Serializable):
                output.append(li.serialize())
            else:
                output.append(li)
        return output

    def serialize(self, **kwargs):

        # init write only props
        if len(getattr(self.__class__, '__write_only__', ())) == 0:
            self.__class__.__write_only__ = ()
        dictionary = {}
        expand = kwargs.get('expand', ()) or ()
        prop = 'props'
        if expand:
            # expand all the fields
            for key in expand:
                getattr(self, key)
        iterable = self.__dict__.items()
        is_custom_property_set = False
        # include only properties passed as parameter
        if (prop in kwargs) and (kwargs.get(prop, None) is not None):
            is_custom_property_set = True
            iterable = kwargs.get(prop, None)
        # loop trough all accessible properties
        for key in iterable:
            accessor = key
            if isinstance(key, tuple):
                accessor = key[0]
            if not (accessor in self.__class__.__write_only__) and not accessor.startswith('_'):
                # force select from db to be able get relationships
                if is_custom_property_set:
                    getattr(self, accessor, None)
                if isinstance(self.__dict__.get(accessor), list):
                    dictionary[accessor] = self.__class__.serialize_list(object_list=self.__dict__.get(accessor))
                # check if those properties are read only
                elif isinstance(self.__dict__.get(accessor), Serializable):
                    dictionary[accessor] = self.__dict__.get(accessor).serialize()
                else:
                    dictionary[accessor] = self.__dict__.get(accessor)
        return dictionary

这并不是那么简单。我写了一些代码来做这件事。我还在开发中，它使用了MochiKit框架。它基本上使用代理和注册的JSON转换器在Python和Javascript之间转换复合对象。

数据库对象的浏览器端是db.js 它需要proxy.js中的基本Python代理源代码。

在Python方面，有基本代理模块。 最后是webserver.py中的SqlAlchemy对象编码器。 它还依赖于models.py文件中的元数据提取器。

出于安全考虑，您不应该返回模型的所有字段。我更喜欢有选择性地选择他们。

Flask的json编码现在支持UUID, datetime和relationships(并为flask_sqlalchemy db添加了query和query_class。模型类)。编码器我更新如下:

app / json_encoder.py

    from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import DeclarativeMeta
    from flask import json


    class AlchemyEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
        def default(self, o):
            if isinstance(o.__class__, DeclarativeMeta):
                data = {}
                fields = o.__json__() if hasattr(o, '__json__') else dir(o)
                for field in [f for f in fields if not f.startswith('_') and f not in ['metadata', 'query', 'query_class']]:
                    value = o.__getattribute__(field)
                    try:
                        json.dumps(value)
                        data[field] = value
                    except TypeError:
                        data[field] = None
                return data
            return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, o)

app / __init__ . py

# json encoding
from app.json_encoder import AlchemyEncoder
app.json_encoder = AlchemyEncoder

有了这个，我可以选择添加一个__json__属性，返回我希望编码的字段列表:

app / models.py

class Queue(db.Model):
    id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
    song_id = db.Column(db.Integer, db.ForeignKey('song.id'), unique=True, nullable=False)
    song = db.relationship('Song', lazy='joined')
    type = db.Column(db.String(20), server_default=u'audio/mpeg')
    src = db.Column(db.String(255), nullable=False)
    created_at = db.Column(db.DateTime, server_default=db.func.now())
    updated_at = db.Column(db.DateTime, server_default=db.func.now(), onupdate=db.func.now())

    def __init__(self, song):
        self.song = song
        self.src = song.full_path

    def __json__(self):
        return ['song', 'src', 'type', 'created_at']

我添加@jsonapi到我的视图，返回结果列表，然后我的输出如下:

[

{

    "created_at": "Thu, 23 Jul 2015 11:36:53 GMT",
    "song": 

        {
            "full_path": "/static/music/Audioslave/Audioslave [2002]/1 Cochise.mp3",
            "id": 2,
            "path_name": "Audioslave/Audioslave [2002]/1 Cochise.mp3"
        },
    "src": "/static/music/Audioslave/Audioslave [2002]/1 Cochise.mp3",
    "type": "audio/mpeg"
}

]

经过一番尝试，我想出了自己的解决方案

def to_dict(self):
    keys = self.__mapper__.attrs.keys()
    attrs = vars(self)
    return { k : attrs[k]  for k in keys}

AlchemyEncoder是很棒的，但有时会失败的十进制值。这是一个改进的编码器，解决十进制问题-

class AlchemyEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
# To serialize SQLalchemy objects 
def default(self, obj):
    if isinstance(obj.__class__, DeclarativeMeta):
        model_fields = {}
        for field in [x for x in dir(obj) if not x.startswith('_') and x != 'metadata']:
            data = obj.__getattribute__(field)
            print data
            try:
                json.dumps(data)  # this will fail on non-encodable values, like other classes
                model_fields[field] = data
            except TypeError:
                model_fields[field] = None
        return model_fields
    if isinstance(obj, Decimal):
        return float(obj)
    return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)

在SQLAlchemy中使用内置序列化器:

from sqlalchemy.ext.serializer import loads, dumps
obj = MyAlchemyObject()
# serialize object
serialized_obj = dumps(obj)

# deserialize object
obj = loads(serialized_obj)

如果在会话之间传输对象，请记住使用session.expunge(obj)将对象从当前会话中分离出来。 要再次附加它，只需执行session.add(obj)。
