Django可以很好地自动序列化从DB返回到JSON格式的ORM模型。

如何序列化SQLAlchemy查询结果为JSON格式?

我试过jsonpickle。编码,但它编码查询对象本身。 我尝试了json.dumps(items),但它返回

TypeError: <Product('3', 'some name', 'some desc')> is not JSON serializable

将SQLAlchemy ORM对象序列化为JSON /XML真的那么难吗?它没有任何默认序列化器吗?现在序列化ORM查询结果是非常常见的任务。

我所需要的只是返回SQLAlchemy查询结果的JSON或XML数据表示。

需要在javascript datagird中使用JSON/XML格式的SQLAlchemy对象查询结果(JQGrid http://www.trirand.com/blog/)

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)

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)

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

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)

下面是一个解决方案,它允许您选择希望在输出中包含的关系。 注意:这是一个完整的重写,将dict/str作为一个参数,而不是一个列表。修复了一些东西..

def deep_dict(self, relations={}):
    """Output a dict of an SA object recursing as deep as you want.

    Takes one argument, relations which is a dictionary of relations we'd
    like to pull out. The relations dict items can be a single relation
    name or deeper relation names connected by sub dicts

    Example:
        Say we have a Person object with a family relationship
            person.deep_dict(relations={'family':None})
        Say the family object has homes as a relation then we can do
            person.deep_dict(relations={'family':{'homes':None}})
            OR
            person.deep_dict(relations={'family':'homes'})
        Say homes has a relation like rooms you can do
            person.deep_dict(relations={'family':{'homes':'rooms'}})
            and so on...
    """
    mydict =  dict((c, str(a)) for c, a in
                    self.__dict__.items() if c != '_sa_instance_state')
    if not relations:
        # just return ourselves
        return mydict

    # otherwise we need to go deeper
    if not isinstance(relations, dict) and not isinstance(relations, str):
        raise Exception("relations should be a dict, it is of type {}".format(type(relations)))

    # got here so check and handle if we were passed a dict
    if isinstance(relations, dict):
        # we were passed deeper info
        for left, right in relations.items():
            myrel = getattr(self, left)
            if isinstance(myrel, list):
                mydict[left] = [rel.deep_dict(relations=right) for rel in myrel]
            else:
                mydict[left] = myrel.deep_dict(relations=right)
    # if we get here check and handle if we were passed a string
    elif isinstance(relations, str):
        # passed a single item
        myrel = getattr(self, relations)
        left = relations
        if isinstance(myrel, list):
            mydict[left] = [rel.deep_dict(relations=None)
                                 for rel in myrel]
        else:
            mydict[left] = myrel.deep_dict(relations=None)

    return mydict

举个关于person/family/homes/rooms的例子…把它转换成json,你只需要

json.dumps(person.deep_dict(relations={'family':{'homes':'rooms'}}))

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
