Gson 使用 TypeAdapter 为对象中的一个(多个)变量定制序列化程序

我已经看到了大量使用自定义 TypeAdapter 的简单示例。最有帮助的是 Class TypeAdapter<T>。但这还没回答我的问题。

我想定制对象中单个字段的序列化,并让默认的 Gson 机制来处理其余的事情。

出于讨论的目的,我们可以使用这个类定义作为我希望序列化的对象的类。我想让 Gson 序列化前两个类成员以及基类的所有公开成员,并且我想为下面显示的第三个也是最后一个类成员进行自定义序列化。

public class MyClass extends SomeClass {


@Expose private HashMap<String, MyObject1> lists;
@Expose private HashMap<String, MyObject2> sources;
private LinkedHashMap<String, SomeClass> customSerializeThis;
[snip]
}

This is a great question because it isolates something that should be easy but actually requires a lot of code.

To start off, write an abstract TypeAdapterFactory that gives you hooks to modify the outgoing data. This example uses a new API in Gson 2.2 called getDelegateAdapter() that allows you to look up the adapter that Gson would use by default. The delegate adapters are extremely handy if you just want to tweak the standard behavior. And unlike full custom type adapters, they'll stay up-to-date automatically as you add and remove fields.

public abstract class CustomizedTypeAdapterFactory<C>
implements TypeAdapterFactory {
private final Class<C> customizedClass;


public CustomizedTypeAdapterFactory(Class<C> customizedClass) {
this.customizedClass = customizedClass;
}


@SuppressWarnings("unchecked") // we use a runtime check to guarantee that 'C' and 'T' are equal
public final <T> TypeAdapter<T> create(Gson gson, TypeToken<T> type) {
return type.getRawType() == customizedClass
? (TypeAdapter<T>) customizeMyClassAdapter(gson, (TypeToken<C>) type)
: null;
}


private TypeAdapter<C> customizeMyClassAdapter(Gson gson, TypeToken<C> type) {
final TypeAdapter<C> delegate = gson.getDelegateAdapter(this, type);
final TypeAdapter<JsonElement> elementAdapter = gson.getAdapter(JsonElement.class);
return new TypeAdapter<C>() {
@Override public void write(JsonWriter out, C value) throws IOException {
JsonElement tree = delegate.toJsonTree(value);
beforeWrite(value, tree);
elementAdapter.write(out, tree);
}
@Override public C read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {
JsonElement tree = elementAdapter.read(in);
afterRead(tree);
return delegate.fromJsonTree(tree);
}
};
}


/**
* Override this to muck with {@code toSerialize} before it is written to
* the outgoing JSON stream.
*/
protected void beforeWrite(C source, JsonElement toSerialize) {
}


/**
* Override this to muck with {@code deserialized} before it parsed into
* the application type.
*/
protected void afterRead(JsonElement deserialized) {
}
}

The above class uses the default serialization to get a JSON tree (represented by JsonElement), and then calls the hook method beforeWrite() to allow the subclass to customize that tree. Similarly for deserialization with afterRead().

Next we subclass this for the specific MyClass example. To illustrate I'll add a synthetic property called 'size' to the map when it's serialized. And for symmetry I'll remove it when it's deserialized. In practice this could be any customization.

private class MyClassTypeAdapterFactory extends CustomizedTypeAdapterFactory<MyClass> {
private MyClassTypeAdapterFactory() {
super(MyClass.class);
}


@Override protected void beforeWrite(MyClass source, JsonElement toSerialize) {
JsonObject custom = toSerialize.getAsJsonObject().get("custom").getAsJsonObject();
custom.add("size", new JsonPrimitive(custom.entrySet().size()));
}


@Override protected void afterRead(JsonElement deserialized) {
JsonObject custom = deserialized.getAsJsonObject().get("custom").getAsJsonObject();
custom.remove("size");
}
}

Finally put it all together by creating a customized Gson instance that uses the new type adapter:

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
.registerTypeAdapterFactory(new MyClassTypeAdapterFactory())
.create();

Gson's new TypeAdapter and TypeAdapterFactory types are extremely powerful, but they're also abstract and take practice to use effectively. Hopefully you find this example useful!

There's another approach to this. As Jesse Wilson says, this is supposed to be easy. And guess what, it is easy!

If you implement JsonSerializer and JsonDeserializer for your type, you can handle the parts you want and delegate to Gson for everything else, with very little code. I'm quoting from @Perception's answer on another question below for convenience, see that answer for more details:

In this case its better to use a JsonSerializer as opposed to a TypeAdapter, for the simple reason that serializers have access to their serialization context.

public class PairSerializer implements JsonSerializer<Pair> {
@Override
public JsonElement serialize(final Pair value, final Type type,
final JsonSerializationContext context) {
final JsonObject jsonObj = new JsonObject();
jsonObj.add("first", context.serialize(value.getFirst()));
jsonObj.add("second", context.serialize(value.getSecond()));
return jsonObj;
}
}

The main advantage of this (apart from avoiding complicated workarounds) is that you can still advantage of other type adaptors and custom serializers that might have been registered in the main context. Note that registration of serializers and adapters use the exact same code.

However, I will acknowledge that Jesse's approach looks better if you're frequently going to modify fields in your Java object. It's a trade-off of ease-of-use vs flexibility, take your pick.

My colleague also mentioned the use of the @JsonAdapter annotation

https://google.github.io/gson/apidocs/com/google/gson/annotations/JsonAdapter.html

The page has been moved to here: https://www.javadoc.io/doc/com.google.code.gson/gson/latest/com.google.gson/com/google/gson/annotations/JsonAdapter.html

Example:

 private static final class Gadget {
@JsonAdapter(UserJsonAdapter2.class)
final User user;
Gadget(User user) {
this.user = user;
}
}
