如何将DefaultMutableTreeNode（Java）序列化为JSON？

Question

如何将树（使用DefaultMutableTreeNode类在Java中实现）序列化为JSON（通过RESTful方法传输到iOS客户端）？

我试过了：

String jsonString = (new Gson()).toJson(topNode);
// topNode is DefaultMutableTreeNode at the root

它与StackOverflowError坠毁。

Answer 1

Swing的DefaultMutableTreeNode类是一个树状的数据结构，它包含children和parent这种相同类型的实例。这就是为什么Gson的默认序列化器遇到无限递归，因此扔了一个StackOverflowError。

要解决这个问题，你需要使用一个更智能的Gson来定制你的JsonSerializer，这个DefaultMutableTreeNode专门用于将JsonDeserializer转换为JSON。作为奖励，你可能还想提供一个DefaultMutableTreeNode来将这样的JSON转换回Gson。

为此，创建你的new Gson()实例不仅仅是由

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
        .registerTypeAdapter(DefaultMutableTreeNode.class, new DefaultMutableTreeNodeSerializer())
        .registerTypeAdapter(DefaultMutableTreeNode.class, new DefaultMutableTreeNodeDeserializer())
        .setPrettyPrinting()
        .create();

，而是由

DefaultMutableTreeNodeSerializer

下面的DefaultMutableTreeNode负责将allowsChildren转换为JSON。它将其属性userObject，children和parent转换为JSON。请注意，它不会将

public class DefaultMutableTreeNodeSerializer implements JsonSerializer<DefaultMutableTreeNode> {

    @Override
    public JsonElement serialize(DefaultMutableTreeNode src, Type typeOfSrc, JsonSerializationContext context) {
        JsonObject jsonObject = new JsonObject();
        jsonObject.addProperty("allowsChildren", src.getAllowsChildren());
        jsonObject.add("userObject", context.serialize(src.getUserObject()));
        if (src.getChildCount() > 0) {
            jsonObject.add("children", context.serialize(Collections.list(src.children())));
        }
        return jsonObject;
    }
}

属性转换为JSON，因为这样做会再次产生无限递归。

JTree

为了进行测试，让我们将样本的根节点序列化为JSON，然后再次反序列化。

JTree tree = new JTree();  // create a sample tree
Object topNode = tree.getModel().getRoot();  // a DefaultMutableTreeNode
String jsonString = gson.toJson(topNode);
System.out.println(jsonString);
DefaultMutableTreeNode topNode2 = gson.fromJson(jsonString, DefaultMutableTreeNode.class);

{
  "allowsChildren": true,
  "userObject": "JTree",
  "children": [
    {
      "allowsChildren": true,
      "userObject": "colors",
      "children": [
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "blue"
        },
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "violet"
        },
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "red"
        },
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "yellow"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "allowsChildren": true,
      "userObject": "sports",
      "children": [
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "basketball"
        },
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "soccer"
        },
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "football"
        },
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "hockey"
        }
      ]
    },
    {
      "allowsChildren": true,
      "userObject": "food",
      "children": [
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "hot dogs"
        },
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "pizza"
        },
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "ravioli"
        },
        {
          "allowsChildren": true,
          "userObject": "bananas"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

它生成以下JSON输出：

DefaultMutableTreeNodeDeserializer

下面的DefaultMutableTreeNode负责将JSON转换回How to serialize/deserialize a DefaultMutableTreeNode with Jackson?。

它使用与DefaultMutableTreeNode的解串器相同的想法。 POJO不是很像POJO，因此与Gson不能很好地协同工作。因此，它使用了一个表现良好的allowsChildren辅助类（具有属性userObject，children和POJO），并允许Gson将JSON内容反序列化为此类。然后POJO对象（及其DefaultMutableTreeNode儿童）被转换为DefaultMutableTreeNode对象（与

public class DefaultMutableTreeNodeDeserializer implements JsonDeserializer<DefaultMutableTreeNode> {

    @Override
    public DefaultMutableTreeNode deserialize(JsonElement json, Type type, JsonDeserializationContext context) {
        return context.<POJO>deserialize(json, POJO.class).toDefaultMutableTreeNode();
    }

    private static class POJO {

        private boolean allowsChildren;
        private Object userObject;
        private List<POJO> children;
        // no need for: POJO parent

        public DefaultMutableTreeNode toDefaultMutableTreeNode() {
            DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode();
            node.setAllowsChildren(allowsChildren);
            node.setUserObject(userObject);
            if (children != null) {
                for (POJO child : children) {
                    node.add(child.toDefaultMutableTreeNode()); // recursion!
                    // this did also set the parent of the child-node
                }
            }
            return node;
        }

        // Following setters needed by Gson's deserialization:

        public void setAllowsChildren(boolean allowsChildren) {
            this.allowsChildren = allowsChildren;
        }

        public void setUserObject(Object userObject) {
            this.userObject = userObject;
        }

        public void setChildren(List<POJO> children) {
            this.children = children;
        }
    }
}

儿童）。

JsonSerializer

Answer 2

这是我的旧答案的改进替代品，它使用JsonDeserializer和DefaultMutableTreeNode为TypeAdapter实现。这两个接口的API文档说：

新的应用程序应该更喜欢TypeAdapter，它的流API比这个接口的树API更有效。

因此，让我们使用这种首选方法并为DefaultMutableTreeNode实现Gson。

要使用它，你可以像这样创建你的new Gson()实例（而不是仅使用

Gson gson = new GsonBuilder()
        .registerTypeAdapterFactory(DefaultMutableTreeNodeTypeAdapter.FACTORY)
        .setPrettyPrinting()
        .create();

）：

DefaultMutableTreeNodeTypeAdapter

下面的DefaultMutableTreeNode负责将allowsChildren转换为JSON和从JSON转换。它写/读它的属性userObject，children和parent。不需要编写

public class DefaultMutableTreeNodeTypeAdapter extends TypeAdapter<DefaultMutableTreeNode> {

    public static final TypeAdapterFactory FACTORY = new TypeAdapterFactory() {

        @Override
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") // we use a runtime check to make sure the 'T's equal
        public <T> TypeAdapter<T> create(Gson gson, TypeToken<T> type) {
            if (type.getRawType() == DefaultMutableTreeNode.class) {
                return (TypeAdapter<T>) new DefaultMutableTreeNodeTypeAdapter(gson);
            }
            return null;
        }
    };

    private final Gson gson;

    private DefaultMutableTreeNodeTypeAdapter(Gson gson) {
        this.gson = gson;
    }

    @Override
    public void write(JsonWriter out, DefaultMutableTreeNode node) throws IOException {
        out.beginObject();
        out.name("allowsChildren");
        out.value(node.getAllowsChildren());
        out.name("userObject");
        gson.toJson(node.getUserObject(), Object.class, out);
        if (node.getChildCount() > 0) {
            out.name("children");
            gson.toJson(Collections.list(node.children()), List.class, out); // recursion!
        }
        // No need to write node.getParent(), it would lead to infinite recursion.
        out.endObject();
    }

    @Override
    public DefaultMutableTreeNode read(JsonReader in) throws IOException {
        in.beginObject();
        DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode();
        while (in.hasNext()) {
            switch (in.nextName()) {
            case "allowsChildren":
                node.setAllowsChildren(in.nextBoolean());
                break;
            case "userObject":
                node.setUserObject(gson.fromJson(in, Object.class));
                break;
            case "children":
                in.beginArray();
                while (in.hasNext()) {
                    node.add(read(in)); // recursion!
                    // this did also set the parent of the child-node
                }
                in.endArray();
                break;
            default:
                in.skipValue();
                break;
            }
        }
        in.endObject();
        return node;
    }
}

属性，因为父子关系已经在JSON输出的嵌套结构中编码。
