虽然最初的问题可以追溯到很久以前，但这里的答案数量(以及我自己的经验)表明，这是一个不平凡的问题，有许多不同的方法，不同的复杂性和不同的权衡。

这就是为什么我构建了SQLAthanor库，它扩展了SQLAlchemy的声明性ORM，支持可配置的序列化/反序列化，您可能想看看。

该库支持:

Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6. SQLAlchemy versions 0.9 and higher serialization/de-serialization to/from JSON, CSV, YAML, and Python dict serialization/de-serialization of columns/attributes, relationships, hybrid properties, and association proxies enabling and disabling of serialization for particular formats and columns/relationships/attributes (e.g. you want to support an inbound password value, but never include an outbound one) pre-serialization and post-deserialization value processing (for validation or type coercion) a pretty straightforward syntax that is both Pythonic and seamlessly consistent with SQLAlchemy's own approach

你可以在这里查看(我希望!)全面的文档:https://sqlathanor.readthedocs.io/en/latest

希望这能有所帮助!

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"
}

]

Flask-JsonTools包为您的模型提供了JsonSerializableBase基类的实现。

用法:

from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declarative_base
from flask.ext.jsontools import JsonSerializableBase

Base = declarative_base(cls=(JsonSerializableBase,))

class User(Base):
    #...

现在User模型可以神奇地序列化了。

如果你的框架不是Flask，你可以抓取代码

虽然使用一些原始sql和未定义的对象，使用cursor.description似乎得到了我正在寻找的东西:

with connection.cursor() as cur:
    print(query)
    cur.execute(query)
    for item in cur.fetchall():
        row = {column.name: item[i] for i, column in enumerate(cur.description)}
        print(row)

也许你可以使用这样的类

from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import declared_attr
from sqlalchemy import Table


class Custom:
    """Some custom logic here!"""

    __table__: Table  # def for mypy

    @declared_attr
    def __tablename__(cls):  # pylint: disable=no-self-argument
        return cls.__name__  # pylint: disable= no-member

    def to_dict(self) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Serializes only column data."""
        return {c.name: getattr(self, c.name) for c in self.__table__.columns}

Base = declarative_base(cls=Custom)

class MyOwnTable(Base):
    #COLUMNS!

所有对象都有to_dict方法

扁平化实现

你可以使用这样的代码:

from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import DeclarativeMeta

class AlchemyEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):

    def default(self, obj):
        if isinstance(obj.__class__, DeclarativeMeta):
            # an SQLAlchemy class
            fields = {}
            for field in [x for x in dir(obj) if not x.startswith('_') and x != 'metadata']:
                data = obj.__getattribute__(field)
                try:
                    json.dumps(data) # this will fail on non-encodable values, like other classes
                    fields[field] = data
                except TypeError:
                    fields[field] = None
            # a json-encodable dict
            return fields

        return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)

然后转换为JSON使用:

c = YourAlchemyClass()
print json.dumps(c, cls=AlchemyEncoder)

它将忽略不可编码的字段(将它们设置为“None”)。

它不会自动展开关系(因为这可能导致自引用，并永远循环)。

递归的非循环实现

然而，如果你宁愿永远循环，你可以使用:

from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import DeclarativeMeta

def new_alchemy_encoder():
    _visited_objs = []

    class AlchemyEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
        def default(self, obj):
            if isinstance(obj.__class__, DeclarativeMeta):
                # don't re-visit self
                if obj in _visited_objs:
                    return None
                _visited_objs.append(obj)

                # an SQLAlchemy class
                fields = {}
                for field in [x for x in dir(obj) if not x.startswith('_') and x != 'metadata']:
                    fields[field] = obj.__getattribute__(field)
                # a json-encodable dict
                return fields

            return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)

    return AlchemyEncoder

然后对对象进行编码，使用:

print json.dumps(e, cls=new_alchemy_encoder(), check_circular=False)

这将编码所有的子代、子代、子代……基本上可以编码你的整个数据库。当它到达之前编码过的东西时，它会将其编码为“None”。

递归的、可能是循环的、有选择的实现

另一种选择，可能更好，是能够指定你想要展开的字段:

def new_alchemy_encoder(revisit_self = False, fields_to_expand = []):
    _visited_objs = []

    class AlchemyEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
        def default(self, obj):
            if isinstance(obj.__class__, DeclarativeMeta):
                # don't re-visit self
                if revisit_self:
                    if obj in _visited_objs:
                        return None
                    _visited_objs.append(obj)

                # go through each field in this SQLalchemy class
                fields = {}
                for field in [x for x in dir(obj) if not x.startswith('_') and x != 'metadata']:
                    val = obj.__getattribute__(field)

                    # is this field another SQLalchemy object, or a list of SQLalchemy objects?
                    if isinstance(val.__class__, DeclarativeMeta) or (isinstance(val, list) and len(val) > 0 and isinstance(val[0].__class__, DeclarativeMeta)):
                        # unless we're expanding this field, stop here
                        if field not in fields_to_expand:
                            # not expanding this field: set it to None and continue
                            fields[field] = None
                            continue

                    fields[field] = val
                # a json-encodable dict
                return fields

            return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)

    return AlchemyEncoder

你现在可以调用它:

print json.dumps(e, cls=new_alchemy_encoder(False, ['parents']), check_circular=False)

例如，仅展开名为“parents”的SQLAlchemy字段。
