将输出序列化为JSON - ValueError:检测到循环引用

标签: python json python-2.7

我正在尝试将我的mysql查询结果输出到JSON。 我有序列化datetime.datetime字段的问题,所以我写了一个小函数来做到这一点:

def date_handler(obj):
    if hasattr(obj, 'isoformat'):
        return obj.isoformat()
    else:
        return obj

然后在主代码中我正在运行:

products_json = []
for code in best_matching_codes:
    cur = db.cursor()
    query = "SELECT * FROM %s WHERE code LIKE '%s'" % (PRODUCTS_TABLE_NAME, product_code)
    cur.execute(query)
    columns = [desc[0] for desc in cur.description]
    rows = cur.fetchall()
    for row in rows:
        products_json.append(dict((k,v) for k,v in zip(columns,row)))   

return json.dumps(products_json, default = date_handler)

但是,由于我写了date_handler函数,我得到“ValueError:检测到循环引用”

return _iterencode(o, 0)
ValueError: Circular reference detected

我打破了什么?有没有更好的方法将输出序列化为JSON?

作为default参数传递的函数只会被json模块无法本机序列化的对象调用。它必须返回一个可序列化的对象,或者引发一个TypeError。

如果您的版本不是您正在修复的类型(日期),则您的版本将返回您传递的同一对象。这导致循环引用错误(这是误导性的,因为圆圈在date_handler处理后在一个对象和它自身之间)。

您可以通过更改date_handler以在else块中引发异常来解决此问题。那仍然可能会失败,但你可能会发现你的数据结构中有什么对象导致问题使用这样的代码:

def date_handler(obj):
    if hasattr(obj, 'isoformat'):
        return obj.isoformat()
    else:
        raise TypeError(
            "Unserializable object {} of type {}".format(obj, type(obj))
        )

您应该将调用转发给TypeError的默认方法,而不是自己提升JSONEncoder

def date_handler(obj):
    if hasattr(obj, 'isoformat'):
        return obj.isoformat()
    else:
        json.JSONEncoder.default(self,obj)

这也会引发TypeError并且是一种更好的做法,它允许JSONEncoder尝试编码您的方法无法编码的类型。

json.dumps(obj,default = method_name)

method_name函数必须返回一个序列化对象。

def method_name(obj):
    data = {'__class__':obj.__class__.__name__,
                '__module__':obj.__module__
                }
    data.update(obj.__dict__)
    return data`#data is dict object in this case
