将对象序列化为字符串

我有以下方法将对象保存到文件：

// Save an object out to the disk
public static void SerializeObject<T>(this T toSerialize, String filename)
{
    XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(toSerialize.GetType());
    TextWriter textWriter = new StreamWriter(filename);

    xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, toSerialize);
    textWriter.Close();
}

我承认我没有编写它（我仅将其转换为带有类型参数的扩展方法）。

现在，我需要它来将xml作为字符串返回给我（而不是将其保存到文件中）。我正在研究它，但尚未弄清楚。

我认为这对于熟悉这些对象的人可能真的很容易。如果没有，我最终会解决。

使用StringWriter而不是StreamWriter：

public static string SerializeObject<T>(this T toSerialize)
{
    XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(toSerialize.GetType());

    using(StringWriter textWriter = new StringWriter())
    {
        xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, toSerialize);
        return textWriter.ToString();
    }
}

请注意，在XmlSerializer构造函数中使用toSerialize.GetType()而不是使用它很重要typeof(T)：如果使用第一个，则代码将覆盖的所有可能的子类T（对于该方法有效），而使用后一个，则在传递从派生的类型时将失败T。这是一些示例代码的链接，这些代码可以激发该语句并XmlSerializer使用Exceptionwhen typeof(T)，因为您将派生类型的实例传递给调用在派生类型的基类中定义的SerializeObject的方法：http：// ideone .com / 1Z5J1。

另外，Ideone使用Mono执行代码；Exception使用Microsoft .NET运行时所得到的实际Message结果与Ideone上显示的结果有所不同，但是失败相同。

我知道这并不是真正的问题答案，但是基于问题的投票数和接受的答案，我怀疑人们实际上是在使用代码将对象序列化为字符串。

使用XML序列化会在输出中添加不必要的多余文本垃圾。

对于以下课程

public class UserData
{
    public int UserId { get; set; }
}

它产生

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<UserData xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
          xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <UserId>0</UserId>
</UserData>

更好的解决方案是使用JSON序列化（最好的方法之一是Json.NET）。序列化对象：

var userData = new UserData {UserId = 0};
var userDataString = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(userData);

要反序列化对象：

var userData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<UserData>(userDataString);

序列化的JSON字符串如下所示：

{"UserId":0}

序列化和反序列化（XML / JSON）：

    public static T XmlDeserialize<T>(this string toDeserialize)
    {
        XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
        using(StringReader textReader = new StringReader(toDeserialize))
        {      
            return (T)xmlSerializer.Deserialize(textReader);
        }
    }

    public static string XmlSerialize<T>(this T toSerialize)
    {
        XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
        using(StringWriter textWriter = new StringWriter())
        {
            xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, toSerialize);
            return textWriter.ToString();
        }
    }

    public static T JsonDeserialize<T>(this string toDeserialize)
    {
        return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(toDeserialize);
    }

    public static string JsonSerialize<T>(this T toSerialize)
    {
        return JsonConvert.SerializeObject(toSerialize);
    }

规范安全说明

关于公认的答案，重要的是要使用toSerialize.GetType()而不是typeof(T)在XmlSerializer构造函数中使用：如果使用第一个，则代码涵盖所有可能的情况，而使用后一个则有时会失败。

这是一些示例代码的链接，这些代码可以激发该语句，并XmlSerializer在typeof(T)使用时引发Exception ，因为您将派生类型的实例传递给调用SerializeObject<T>()该方法的方法，该方法在派生类型的基类中定义：http：// ideone .com / 1Z5J1。请注意，Ideone使用Mono执行代码：使用Microsoft .NET运行时所获得的实际异常与Ideone上显示的消息具有不同的消息，但失败却相同。

为了完整起见，我在此处发布了完整的代码示例，以备将来参考，以防万一Ideone（我在其中发布了代码）将来不可用：

using System;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using System.IO;

public class Test
{
    public static void Main()
    {
        Sub subInstance = new Sub();
        Console.WriteLine(subInstance.TestMethod());
    }

    public class Super
    {
        public string TestMethod() {
            return this.SerializeObject();
        }
    }

    public class Sub : Super
    {
    }
}

public static class TestExt {
    public static string SerializeObject<T>(this T toSerialize)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(typeof(T).Name);             // PRINTS: "Super", the base/superclass -- Expected output is "Sub" instead
        Console.WriteLine(toSerialize.GetType().Name); // PRINTS: "Sub", the derived/subclass

        XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(T));
        StringWriter textWriter = new StringWriter();

        // And now...this will throw and Exception!
        // Changing new XmlSerializer(typeof(T)) to new XmlSerializer(subInstance.GetType()); 
        // solves the problem
        xmlSerializer.Serialize(textWriter, toSerialize);
        return textWriter.ToString();
    }
}

我无法使用xhafan建议的JSONConvert方法

在.Net 4.5中，即使添加了“ System.Web.Extensions”程序集参考之后，我仍然无法访问JSONConvert。

但是，添加引用后，您可以使用以下命令打印出相同的字符串：

JavaScriptSerializer js = new JavaScriptSerializer();
string jsonstring = js.Serialize(yourClassObject);

我觉得我需要将这个可操纵的代码分享给接受的答案-因为我没有声誉，所以无法发表评论。

在极少数情况下，您可能想实现自己的String序列化。

但这可能不是一个好主意，除非您知道自己在做什么。（例如，使用批处理文件序列化I / O）

这样的事情就可以解决问题（并且很容易手动/批量编辑），但是要小心，应该做更多的检查，例如该名称不包含换行符。

public string name {get;set;}
public int age {get;set;}

Person(string serializedPerson) 
{
    string[] tmpArray = serializedPerson.Split('\n');
    if(tmpArray.Length>2 && tmpArray[0].Equals("#")){
        this.name=tmpArray[1];
        this.age=int.TryParse(tmpArray[2]);
    }else{
        throw new ArgumentException("Not a valid serialization of a person");
    }
}

public string SerializeToString()
{
    return "#\n" +
           name + "\n" + 
           age;
}
