(Sasha B的回答非常棒)

这特别地将datetime对象转换为字符串，在原始答案中将转换为None:

# Standard library imports
from datetime import datetime
import json

# 3rd party imports
from sqlalchemy.ext.declarative import DeclarativeMeta

class JsonEncoder(json.JSONEncoder):
    def default(self, obj):
        if isinstance(obj.__class__, DeclarativeMeta):
            dict = {}

            # Remove invalid fields and just get the column attributes
            columns = [x for x in dir(obj) if not x.startswith("_") and x != "metadata"]

            for column in columns:
                value = obj.__getattribute__(column)

                try:
                    json.dumps(value)
                    dict[column] = value
                except TypeError:
                    if isinstance(value, datetime):
                        dict[column] = value.__str__()
                    else:
                        dict[column] = None
            return dict

        return json.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)

2023年末

我的实现

def obj_to_dict(obj, remove=['_sa_instance_state'], debug=False):
    result = {}

    if type(obj).__name__ == "Row":
        return dict(obj)

    obj = obj.__dict__
    for key in obj:
        if key in remove:
            continue

        result[key] = obj[key]

    if debug:
        print(result)

    return result

Python 3.7+将于2023年发布

您可以将数据类装饰器添加到您的模型中，并定义一个自定义JSON序列化器，然后是JSON。转储将工作(通过向cls提供自定义编码器)。在下面的例子中，db_row是DB类的一个实例:

json.dumps(db_row, cls=models.CustomJSONEncoder)

{"id": 25, "name": "A component", "author": "Bob", "modified": "2023-02-08T11:49:15.675837"}

可以很容易地修改定制JSON序列化器，使其与任何原生JSON不可序列化的类型兼容。

models.py

from datetime import datetime
import dataclasses
import json
from sqlalchemy import Column, Integer, String, DateTime
from database import Base


@dataclasses.dataclass # <<-- add this decorator 
class DB(Base):
    """Model used for SQLite database entries."""

    __tablename__ = "components"

    id: int = Column(Integer, primary_key=True, index=True)
    name: str = Column(String)
    author: str = Column(String)
    modified: datetime = Column(DateTime(timezone=True), default=datetime.utcnow)


class CustomJSONEncoder(json.JSONEncoder): # <<-- Add this custom encoder 
    """Custom JSON encoder for the DB class."""

    def default(self, o):
        if dataclasses.is_dataclass(o): # this serializes anything dataclass can handle  
            return dataclasses.asdict(o)
        if isinstance(o, datetime): # this adds support for datetime
            return o.isoformat()
        return super().default(o)

为了进一步扩展它，使它适用于你在数据库中可能使用的任何不可序列化的类型，在自定义编码器类中添加另一条if语句，返回一些可序列化的东西(例如str)。

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。

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"
}

]

当使用sqlalchemy连接到db I时，这是一个高度可配置的简单解决方案。使用熊猫。

import pandas as pd
import sqlalchemy

#sqlalchemy engine configuration
engine = sqlalchemy.create_engine....

def my_function():
  #read in from sql directly into a pandas dataframe
  #check the pandas documentation for additional config options
  sql_DF = pd.read_sql_table("table_name", con=engine)

  # "orient" is optional here but allows you to specify the json formatting you require
  sql_json = sql_DF.to_json(orient="index")

  return sql_json
