Deserializing map key with Gson expects an object

问题


I get the error:

Exception in thread "main" com.google.gson.JsonParseException: 
Expecting object found: "com.shagie.app.SimpleMap$Data@24a37368"

when trying to deseralize a Map that uses non-trivial keys:

package com.shagie.app;

import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.GsonBuilder;

import java.util.HashMap;

public class SimpleMap {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Wrapper w = new Wrapper();
        w.m.put(new Data("f", 1), new Data("foo", 3));
        w.m.put(new Data("b", 2), new Data("bar", 4));

        GsonBuilder gb = new GsonBuilder();
        gb.setPrettyPrinting();
        Gson g = gb.create();

        String json = g.toJson(w);

        System.out.println(json);

        w = g.fromJson(json, Wrapper.class);
        System.out.println(w.m.isEmpty());
    }

    static public class Wrapper {
        HashMap<Data, Data> m = new HashMap<Data, Data>();
    }

    static public class Data {
        String s;
        Integer i;
        public Data(String arg, Integer val) { s = arg; i = val; }
    }
}

This serializes to the json:

{
  "m": {
    "com.shagie.app.SimpleMap$Data@24a37368": {
      "s": "foo",
      "i": 3
    },
    "com.shagie.app.SimpleMap$Data@66edc3a2": {
      "s": "bar",
      "i": 4
    }
  }
}

One can see the key attempting to be serialized, but certainly not in a way that can be deserialized.

How does one serialize this object so that it can be deserialized?


回答1:


I found the following while trying to solve this puzzle: Issue 210: Cannot serialize or deserialize Maps with complex keys.

For any internet travelers from the future (like myself)... you can enable this functionality in GSON 2.* with the enableComplexMapKeySerialization() method on GsonBuilder.

Here's the javadoc for that method.

When enabled, the map will be serialized (and correctly deserialized) as an array of [key, value] arrays:

{"m":[[{"s":"f", "i",1}, {"s":"foo", "i":3}], [{"s":"b", "i",2}, {"s":"bar", "i":4}]]}

The problem is that toString() is getting called on the keys to the map, rather than them being serialized themselves.

To fix this a custom serializer and deserializer needs to be set up, and the deserializer needs to be aware of the format that the object uses to display itself as a string (the toString() method must return a string that can be used to reconstruct the entire object).

For the above example:

package com.shagie.app;

import com.google.gson.*;

import java.lang.reflect.Type;
import java.util.HashMap;

public class SimpleMapFixed {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Wrapper w = new Wrapper();
        w.m.put(new Data("f", 1), new Data("foo", 3));
        w.m.put(new Data("b", 2), new Data("bar", 4));

        GsonBuilder gb = new GsonBuilder();
        gb.setPrettyPrinting();
        gb.registerTypeAdapter(Data.class, new DataSerializer());
        Gson g = gb.create();

        String json = g.toJson(w);
        System.out.println(json);

        w = g.fromJson(json, Wrapper.class);
        System.out.println(w.m.isEmpty());
    }

    static public class Wrapper {
        HashMap<Data, Data> m = new HashMap<Data, Data>();
    }

    static public class DataSerializer implements JsonSerializer<Data>,
                                                  JsonDeserializer<Data> {
        @Override
        public Data deserialize(JsonElement je, Type t, JsonDeserializationContext ctx)
                throws JsonParseException {
            Data rv;
            JsonObject jo;

            System.out.println("deserialize called with: " + je.toString());

            if (je.isJsonObject()) {
                jo = je.getAsJsonObject();
                rv = new Data(jo.get("s").getAsString(), jo.get("i").getAsInt());
            } else {
                String js = je.getAsString();
                String[] s = js.split(":", 2);  // split into two (and only two)
                rv = new Data(s[1], Integer.valueOf(s[0]));
            }

            System.out.println("deserialize returns: " + rv.s + " " + rv.i);
            return rv;
        }

        @Override
        public JsonElement serialize(Data data, Type type, JsonSerializationContext jsonSerializationContext) {
            JsonObject jo = new JsonObject();
            jo.addProperty("s", data.s);
            jo.addProperty("i", data.i);
            System.out.println("serialize called: " + jo.toString());
            return jo;
        }
    }

    static public class Data {
        String s;
        Integer i;

        public Data(String arg, Integer val) { s = arg; i = val; }

        @Override
        public String toString() {
            String rv = i.toString() + ':' + s;
            System.out.println("toString called: " + rv);
            return rv;
        }
    }
}

Running this code produces:

serialize called: {"s":"foo","i":3}
toString called: 1:f
serialize called: {"s":"bar","i":4}
toString called: 2:b
{
  "m": {
    "1:f": {
      "s": "foo",
      "i": 3
    },
    "2:b": {
      "s": "bar",
      "i": 4
    }
  }
}
deserialize called with: "1:f"
deserialize returns: f 1
deserialize called with: {"s":"foo","i":3}
deserialize returns: foo 3
deserialize called with: "2:b"
deserialize returns: b 2
deserialize called with: {"s":"bar","i":4}
deserialize returns: bar 4

Note the invocations of toString() as part of the serialization. In this code, the logic for the deserializion from the String form is in the DataSerializer, though it may make sense to move it into the Data class as another constructor instead - it doesn't affect the final outcome.

Further note that Data was a rather simple object itself with no deeper structures. Trying to serialize that as the key would require additional work.

Its Up to you how you are maintaining the HahMap Keys, You can deserialized it with simple and easiest way.

final Type typeOf = new TypeToken <Map<String, Map<String, Data>>>(){}.getType();
final  Map<String, Map<String, Data>> newMap = gson.fromJson(json, typeOf);
final Map<String, Data> map = newMap.get("m");
final Iterator<Entry<String, Data>> it = map.entrySet().iterator();

while (it.hasNext()) {
   Map.Entry<String,Data> pair = (Map.Entry<String,Data>) it.next();
   String key = pair.getKey();
   System.out.println("key  "+ key + " Values[  i= " + data.getI() + ", s= " +data.getS()+" ]");
       }

Result:

key = snippet.Snippet$Data@61506150 Values [ i= 3, s= foo ]

key = snippet.Snippet$Data@63ff63ff Values [ i= 4, s= bar ]
