When using
from django.utils import simplejson
on objects of types that derive from db.Model it throws exceptions. How to circumvent this?
回答1:
Ok - my python not great so any help would be appreciated - You dont need to write a parser - this is the solution:
add this utlity class http://code.google.com/p/google-app-engine-samples/source/browse/trunk/geochat/json.py?r=55
import datetime
import time
from google.appengine.api import users
from google.appengine.ext import db
#this is a mod on the orinal file for some reason it includes its own simplejson files i have ref django!
from django.utils import simplejson
class GqlEncoder(simplejson.JSONEncoder):
"""Extends JSONEncoder to add support for GQL results and properties.
Adds support to simplejson JSONEncoders for GQL results and properties by
overriding JSONEncoder's default method.
"""
# TODO Improve coverage for all of App Engine's Property types.
def default(self, obj):
"""Tests the input object, obj, to encode as JSON."""
if hasattr(obj, '__json__'):
return getattr(obj, '__json__')()
if isinstance(obj, db.GqlQuery):
return list(obj)
elif isinstance(obj, db.Model):
properties = obj.properties().items()
output = {}
for field, value in properties:
output[field] = getattr(obj, field)
return output
elif isinstance(obj, datetime.datetime):
output = {}
fields = ['day', 'hour', 'microsecond', 'minute', 'month', 'second',
'year']
methods = ['ctime', 'isocalendar', 'isoformat', 'isoweekday',
'timetuple']
for field in fields:
output[field] = getattr(obj, field)
for method in methods:
output[method] = getattr(obj, method)()
output['epoch'] = time.mktime(obj.timetuple())
return output
elif isinstance(obj, time.struct_time):
return list(obj)
elif isinstance(obj, users.User):
output = {}
methods = ['nickname', 'email', 'auth_domain']
for method in methods:
output[method] = getattr(obj, method)()
return output
return simplejson.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)
def encode(input):

The example provided by Jader Dias works fine for my concern after some twaeking. Remove the encode method as it contains a circular reference. The adjusted class should look like:
import datetime
import time
from google.appengine.api import users
from google.appengine.ext import db
from django.utils import simplejson
class GqlEncoder(simplejson.JSONEncoder):
"""Extends JSONEncoder to add support for GQL results and properties.
Adds support to simplejson JSONEncoders for GQL results and properties by
overriding JSONEncoder's default method.
"""
# TODO Improve coverage for all of App Engine's Property types.
def default(self, obj):
"""Tests the input object, obj, to encode as JSON."""
if hasattr(obj, '__json__'):
return getattr(obj, '__json__')()
if isinstance(obj, db.GqlQuery):
return list(obj)
elif isinstance(obj, db.Model):
properties = obj.properties().items()
output = {}
for field, value in properties:
output[field] = getattr(obj, field)
return output
elif isinstance(obj, datetime.datetime):
output = {}
fields = ['day', 'hour', 'microsecond', 'minute', 'month', 'second', 'year']
methods = ['ctime', 'isocalendar', 'isoformat', 'isoweekday', 'timetuple']
for field in fields:
output[field] = getattr(obj, field)
for method in methods:
output[method] = getattr(obj, method)()
output['epoch'] = time.mktime(obj.timetuple())
return output
elif isinstance(obj, datetime.date):
output = {}
fields = ['year', 'month', 'day']
methods = ['ctime', 'isocalendar', 'isoformat', 'isoweekday', 'timetuple']
for field in fields:
output[field] = getattr(obj, field)
for method in methods:
output[method] = getattr(obj, method)()
output['epoch'] = time.mktime(obj.timetuple())
return output
elif isinstance(obj, time.struct_time):
return list(obj)
elif isinstance(obj, users.User):
output = {}
methods = ['nickname', 'email', 'auth_domain']
for method in methods:
output[method] = getattr(obj, method)()
return output
return simplejson.JSONEncoder.default(self, obj)
As I've saved this class in a file called utils.py and when appropriate I import it using
import utils
Then I just call utils.GqlEncoder().encode(results), for example:
query = User.all()
results = query.fetch(10)
self.response.headers['Content-Type'] = "text/plain" # Alt. application/json
self.response.out.write( utils.GqlEncoder().encode(results) )
The result should look something like this (I've added some line feeds in order to make it a bit easier to read):
[
{"date": {"ctime": "Tue Feb 23 10:41:21 2010", "hour": 10, "isoweekday": 2, "month": 2,
"second": 21, "microsecond": 495535, "isocalendar": [2010, 8, 2], "timetuple": [2010, 2, 23, 10, 41, 21, 1, 54, -1],

回答3:
json cannot be used to serialize anything more than basic types such as dicts, lists, ints/longs, and strings (this is not comprehensive). For example, even these simple commands do not work:
import json
json.dumps(object())
If you want to serialize django objects, you should refer to the django documentation on serialization, which will use their own libraries, but they do do support json.
回答4:
Since I could not find an appropriate solution I wrote my own, which is not exactly a JSON serializer, but a Javascript serializer
from google.appengine.ext import db
from google.appengine.api.datastore_types import *
def dumpStr(obj):
return "'" + obj + "'"
def dumps(obj):
if isinstance(obj, str):
return dumpStr(obj)
elif obj == None:
return None
elif isinstance(obj, list):
items = [];
for item in obj:
items.append(dumps(item))
return '[' + ','.join(items) + ']'
elif isinstance(obj, datetime.datetime):
return "new Date('%s')" % obj.ctime()
properties = [];
for property in dir(obj):
if property[0] != '_':
value = obj.__getattribute__(property)
valueClass = str(value.__class__)
if not(('function' in valueClass) or ('built' in valueClass) or ('method' in valueClass)):
value = dumps(value)
if value != None:
properties.append("'" + property + "':" + value)
if len(properties) == 0:
return str(obj)
else:
return '{' + ','.join(properties) + '}'

From what i can understand - and i am new to python - with google app engine the work around is to serialize the model object to a dictioanry python object and then use simple json to dump it as a json string - this makes no sense to me - maybe someone has the know to serialise to a ditionary (pickel?) Any help on this would be HELP! not to impressed that google app engine has no inbuilt solution for this.
