我喜欢Onur的答案，但会扩展到包括一个可选的toJSON()方法，用于对象序列化自己:

def dumper(obj):
    try:
        return obj.toJSON()
    except:
        return obj.__dict__
print json.dumps(some_big_object, default=dumper, indent=2)

一个非常简单的一行程序解决方案

import json

json.dumps(your_object, default=lambda __o: __o.__dict__)

结束!

下面是一个测试。

import json
from dataclasses import dataclass


@dataclass
class Company:
    id: int
    name: str

@dataclass
class User:
    id: int
    name: str
    email: str
    company: Company


company = Company(id=1, name="Example Ltd")
user = User(id=1, name="John Doe", email="john@doe.net", company=company)


json.dumps(user, default=lambda __o: __o.__dict__)

输出:

{
  "id": 1, 
  "name": "John Doe", 
  "email": "john@doe.net", 
  "company": {
    "id": 1, 
    "name": "Example Ltd"
  }
}

我没有看到这里提到串行版本或backcompat，所以我将发布我的解决方案，我已经使用了一点。我可能还有很多东西要学习，特别是Java和Javascript可能比我更成熟，但我要这样做

我选择使用装饰器来解决datetime对象序列化问题。 这是我的代码:

#myjson.py
#Author: jmooremcc 7/16/2017

import json
from datetime import datetime, date, time, timedelta
"""
This module uses decorators to serialize date objects using json
The filename is myjson.py
In another module you simply add the following import statement:
    from myjson import json

json.dumps and json.dump will then correctly serialize datetime and date 
objects
"""

def json_serial(obj):
    """JSON serializer for objects not serializable by default json code"""

    if isinstance(obj, (datetime, date)):
        serial = str(obj)
        return serial
    raise TypeError ("Type %s not serializable" % type(obj))


def FixDumps(fn):
    def hook(obj):
        return fn(obj, default=json_serial)

    return hook

def FixDump(fn):
    def hook(obj, fp):
        return fn(obj,fp, default=json_serial)

    return hook


json.dumps=FixDumps(json.dumps)
json.dump=FixDump(json.dump)


if __name__=="__main__":
    today=datetime.now()
    data={'atime':today, 'greet':'Hello'}
    str=json.dumps(data)
    print str

通过导入上述模块，我的其他模块以正常的方式(没有指定默认关键字)使用json来序列化包含日期时间对象的数据。datetime序列化器代码会自动为json调用。Dumps和json.dump。

Jsonweb似乎是我的最佳解决方案。参见http://www.jsonweb.info/en/latest/

from jsonweb.encode import to_object, dumper

@to_object()
class DataModel(object):
  def __init__(self, id, value):
   self.id = id
   self.value = value

>>> data = DataModel(5, "foo")
>>> dumper(data)
'{"__type__": "DataModel", "id": 5, "value": "foo"}'

class DObject(json.JSONEncoder):
    def delete_not_related_keys(self, _dict):
        for key in ["skipkeys", "ensure_ascii", "check_circular", "allow_nan", "sort_keys", "indent"]:
            try:
                del _dict[key]
            except:
                continue

    def default(self, o):
        if hasattr(o, '__dict__'):
            my_dict = o.__dict__.copy()
            self.delete_not_related_keys(my_dict)
            return my_dict
        else:
            return o

a = DObject()
a.name = 'abdul wahid'
b = DObject()
b.name = a

print(json.dumps(b, cls=DObject))
