如何使一个Python类序列化?

class FileItem:
    def __init__(self, fname):
        self.fname = fname

尝试序列化为JSON:

>>> import json
>>> x = FileItem('/foo/bar')
>>> json.dumps(x)
TypeError: Object of type 'FileItem' is not JSON serializable

如果你能够安装一个软件包,我建议你试试dill,它在我的项目中工作得很好。这个包的一个优点是它具有与pickle相同的接口,因此如果您已经在项目中使用了pickle,则可以简单地替换为dill并查看脚本是否运行,而无需更改任何代码。所以这是一个非常便宜的解决方案!

(完全反披露:我与莳萝项目没有任何关联,也从未参与过。)

安装包:

pip install dill

然后编辑你的代码导入莳萝而不是pickle:

# import pickle
import dill as pickle

运行脚本,看看它是否有效。(如果是的话,你可能想要清理你的代码,这样你就不再隐藏pickle模块的名字了!)

关于dill可以和不能序列化的数据类型的一些细节,来自项目页面:

dill can pickle the following standard types: none, type, bool, int, long, float, complex, str, unicode, tuple, list, dict, file, buffer, builtin, both old and new style classes, instances of old and new style classes, set, frozenset, array, functions, exceptions dill can also pickle more ‘exotic’ standard types: functions with yields, nested functions, lambdas, cell, method, unboundmethod, module, code, methodwrapper, dictproxy, methoddescriptor, getsetdescriptor, memberdescriptor, wrapperdescriptor, xrange, slice, notimplemented, ellipsis, quit dill cannot yet pickle these standard types: frame, generator, traceback

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"
  }
}

解决这个问题有很多方法。'ObjDict' (pip install object)是另一个。重点是提供像javascript一样的对象,它也可以像字典一样最好地处理从JSON加载的数据,但还有其他功能也很有用。这为原始问题提供了另一种解决方案。

另一种选择是将JSON转储打包到它自己的类中:

import json

class FileItem:
    def __init__(self, fname):
        self.fname = fname

    def __repr__(self):
        return json.dumps(self.__dict__)

或者,更好的是,从JsonSerializable类继承FileItem类:

import json

class JsonSerializable(object):
    def toJson(self):
        return json.dumps(self.__dict__)

    def __repr__(self):
        return self.toJson()


class FileItem(JsonSerializable):
    def __init__(self, fname):
        self.fname = fname

测试:

>>> f = FileItem('/foo/bar')
>>> f.toJson()
'{"fname": "/foo/bar"}'
>>> f
'{"fname": "/foo/bar"}'
>>> str(f) # string coercion
'{"fname": "/foo/bar"}'

除了Onur的答案,你可能想要处理如下的datetime类型。(以便处理:'datetime. time.)Datetime对象没有属性dict异常。)

def datetime_option(value):
    if isinstance(value, datetime.date):
        return value.timestamp()
    else:
        return value.__dict__

用法:

def toJSON(self):
    return json.dumps(self, default=datetime_option, sort_keys=True, indent=4)

对于更复杂的类,您可以考虑使用jsonpickle工具:

jsonpickle is a Python library for serialization and deserialization of complex Python objects to and from JSON. The standard Python libraries for encoding Python into JSON, such as the stdlib’s json, simplejson, and demjson, can only handle Python primitives that have a direct JSON equivalent (e.g. dicts, lists, strings, ints, etc.). jsonpickle builds on top of these libraries and allows more complex data structures to be serialized to JSON. jsonpickle is highly configurable and extendable–allowing the user to choose the JSON backend and add additional backends.
