Python 中的 JSON 输出排序

我在 Python 中遇到了 JSON 的问题。

事实上,如果我尝试执行这段代码,python 会给我一个经过排序的 JSON 字符串!

例如:

values = {
'profile': 'testprofile',
'format': 'RSA_RC4_Sealed',
'enc_key': base64.b64encode(chiave_da_inviare),
'request': base64.b64encode(data)
}


values_json = json.dumps(values, sort_keys = False, separators = (',', ':'))

这是输出:

{
"profile": "testprofile",
"enc_key": "GBWo[...]NV6w==",
"request": "TFl[...]uYw==",
"format": "RSA_RC4_Sealed"
}

正如您所看到的,我尝试使用“ sort _ keys = False”,但是没有任何改变。

如何停止 Python 对 JSON 字符串排序?

The keys aren't sorted: "profile", "enc_key", "request", "format".

It sounds like you want them to appear in the same order that you created them in the dictionary, but dictionaries are inherently unsorted, they don't remember the order you inserted keys.

There are a number of SortedDict implementations that you can use, but the json encoder won't know to use it to get the keys in the order you want.

You are storing your values into a Python dict which has no inherent notion of ordering at all, it's just a key-to-value map. So your items lose all ordering when you place them into the values variable.

In fact the only way to get a deterministic ordering would be to use sort_keys=True, which I assume places them in alphanumeric ordering. Why is the order so important?

If you specify sort_keys=False then Python will simply print the items in whatever order they appear in the underlying Python dict object. In some cases this may happen to be the same as the default alphanumeric sort order. In your example, the keys AREN'T even sorted like that, since "format" comes after "request". Regardless, the sort_keys parameter is still valid, as evidenced by this sample code:

>>> import json
>>> json.dumps({"a":5, "b":6, "c":7}, sort_keys=False)
'{"a": 5, "c": 7, "b": 6}'

Try OrderedDict from the standard library collections:

>>> import json
>>> from collections import OrderedDict
>>> values = OrderedDict([('profile','testprofile'),
('format', 'RSA_RC4_Sealed'),
('enc_key', '...'),
('request', '...')])
>>> json.dumps(values, sort_keys=False)
'{"profile": "testprofile", "format": "RSA_RC4_Sealed", "enc_key": "...", "request": "..."}'

Unfortunately this feature is New in version 2.7 for collections

An OrderedDict as discussed elsewhere is most of the solution to your problem, and an 'ObjDict' could be even better.

However if you need the order maintained on loading, then you will also need the json.loads() to load the values into an OrderedDict. To do this use

from collections import OrderedDict
values=json.loads(jsontext,object_pairs_hook=OrderedDict)

Otherwise even though the json file will be in order, that order will be lost when loaded.

Perhaps an even better solution is to use 'ObjDict' in place of OrderedDict. This requires a pip install objdict. ObjDict still maintains order, as with OrderedDict, but also brings JSON support and better handling of this example.

from objdict import ObjDict
values = ObjDict("""{"profile" : "testprofile",
"format": "RSA_RC4_Sealed" }""")
values.enc_key = base64.b64encode(chiave_da_inviare)
values.request = base64.b64encode(data)


values_json = values.dumps(separators=(',', ':'))

You can sort json data using simple json.dumps as

sorted_json = json.dumps(values, sort_keys=True)

If you want no need to sort simply provide

unsorted_json = json.dumps(values)

or:

unsorted_json = json.dumps(values, sort_keys=False)
