如何将Lookup <string,string =“”>对象序列化为JSON?

标签: json asp.net-web-api serialization

我正在尝试通过执行以下操作将Lookup序列化为JSON:

Lookup<string, string> productIdsByCategory = prodcuts.ToLookup(p => p.Category, p => p.Id);

然后在我的ASP.NET Core WebAPI控制器中,我正在返回:

var response = new ComplexType
{
     PropertyA = productIdsByCategory
     ... other properties left out ...
};
return Json(response)

我的WebAPI中邮递员的回答如下:

{
  "PropertyA": [
    [
      "ProductId_A"
    ],
    [
      "ProductId_B"
    ],
    [
      "ProductId_C"
    ]
  ],
  ... other properties left out ...
}

密钥不包含在JSON响应中,是否可以执行此操作?

你正好在Newtonsoft.Json没有很好地对待Lookup<TKey, TElement>。以下代码:

var input = new List<string>()
{
    "A1",
    "A2",
    "B1",
    "C1",
    "C2"
};

var lookup = input.ToLookup(i => i[0], i => i);
var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(lookup);

Console.WriteLine(json);        

序列化为:

[["A1","A2"],["B1"],["C1","C2"]]

您正确地注意到密钥名称(ABC)缺失,它似乎被序列化为数组数组。

似乎不支持开箱即用序列化查找,因此您必须编写自己的转换器。

我找到了一个here,但这需要您事先了解密钥和值的类型。

修改它,这就完成了工作:

        // Same as above, up till here
        var json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(lookup, new LookupSerializer());
        Console.WriteLine(json);
    }
}

public class LookupSerializer : JsonConverter
{
    public override bool CanConvert(Type objectType)
    {
        var result = objectType.GetInterfaces().Any(a => a.IsGenericType 
            && a.GetGenericTypeDefinition() == typeof(ILookup<,>));
        return result;
    }

    public override object ReadJson(JsonReader reader, Type objectType, object existingValue, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    public override void WriteJson(JsonWriter writer, object value, JsonSerializer serializer)
    {
        var obj = new JObject();            
        var enumerable = (IEnumerable)value;

        foreach (object kvp in enumerable)
        {
            // TODO: caching
            var keyProp = kvp.GetType().GetProperty("Key");
            var keyValue = keyProp.GetValue(kvp, null);

            obj.Add(keyValue.ToString(), JArray.FromObject((IEnumerable)kvp));
        }

        obj.WriteTo(writer);
    }
}

输出:

{
    "A": ["A1", "A2"],
    "B": ["B1"],
    "C": ["C1", "C2"]
}

作为创建自定义转换器的一种解决方法,您可以将Lookup<TKey, TElement>转换为Newtonsoft.Json很好玩的Dictionary<TKey, List<TElement>>

myLookup.ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.ToList());
