如何删除DataContractSerializer详细程度

我们正在尝试序列化对象树。虽然我们取得了成功。我希望找到一种方法来简化生成的xml。

对象看起来如下所示:

public class RuleSet<T>
{
    public IEnumerable<IState<T>> States { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<ICondition<T>> Conditions { get; set; }
}

public class State<T> : IState<T>
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public List<ITransition<T>> Transitions { get; set; }
}

public class Transition<T> : ITransition<T>
{
    public ICondition<T> Condition { get; set; }
    public IState<T> Next { get; set; }
}

public class Condition<T> : ICondition<T>
{
    public string Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }    
}

目前我们正在使用一个非常简单的序列化代码:

public void blah()
{
    var condition1 = new Condition<object>() {
        Id = "C1", AttributeName = "Foo", ExpectedValue = "Bar"
    };
    var condition2 = new Condition<object>() {
        Id = "C2", AttributeName = "Bar", ExpectedValue = "Foo"
    };

    var state1Transitions = new List<ITransition<object>>();
    var state2Transitions = new List<ITransition<object>>();
    var state3Transitions = new List<ITransition<object>>();

    var state = new State<object> {
        Id = "S1", Transitions = state1Transitions
    };
    var state2 = new State<object> {
        Id = "S2", Transitions = state2Transitions
    };
    var state3 = new State<object> {
        Id = "S3", Transitions = state3Transitions
    };

    state1Transitions.Add(new Transition<object> {
        Condition = condition1, Next = state2
    });
    state1Transitions.Add(new Transition<object> {
        Condition = condition2, Next = state3
    });
    state2Transitions.Add(new Transition<object> {
        Condition = condition2, Next = state3
    });
    var ruleSet = new RuleSet<object> {
        States = new List<IState<object>> {state, state2, state3}, 
        Conditions = new List<ICondition<object>>{condition1, condition2}
    };

    var stream1 = new MemoryStream();

    var serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(RuleSet<object>),
        new List<Type> { 
            typeof(State<object>), 
            typeof(Transition<object>),
        typeof(AttributeEqualTo<object>)
    });

    serializer.WriteObject(stream1, ruleSet);
    stream1.Position = 0;

    var xml = new StreamReader(stream1).ReadToEnd();
    Console.WriteLine(xml);
}

生成XML时,每个级别的输出都是完整的,而不是仅包含对象的引用。基本上对于每个Transition<T>,我们为每个状态和条件获得完整的对象定义,即使它们是在其他地方定义的。

有没有办法让这些只是参考?

这完全取决于您如何创建DataContractSerializer

您需要使用以下签名来呼叫the overload of the constructor that allows you to indicate that you will preserve object references

public DataContractSerializer(
    Type type,
    IEnumerable<Type> knownTypes,
    int maxItemsInObjectGraph,
    bool ignoreExtensionDataObject,
    bool preserveObjectReferences,
    IDataContractSurrogate dataContractSurrogate
)

您可以为大多数参数传递默认值。在您的情况下,对DataContractSerializer构造函数的调用将如下所示:

var serializer = new DataContractSerializer(typeof(RuleSet<object>),
    new [] {
        typeof(State<object>),
        typeof(Transition<object>),
        typeof(AttributeEqualTo<object>)
    },
    Int32.MaxValue,
    false,
    /* This is the important flag to set. */
    true,
    null
);

注意,从preserveObjectReferences参数文档中,它使用非标准XML(强调我的):

  

preserveObjectReferences

     

类型:System.Boolean

     

true 使用非标准XML构造来保留对象引用数据;否则,错误。

如果您需要.NET之外的其他代码来解释这一点,那么解开引用可能会很困难(但不应该是不可能的)。

但是,它会阻止对象图复制自身并减小XML的大小(考虑到引用的深度,可能会相当大)。
