将 Dictionary<string,string> 成员序列化为 XML 元素和数据

Question

我有一个 class 'products' 可序列化为 XML。我正在使用标准 System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer 进行序列化，并使用 XmlWriter 'writer' 对象将序列化结果写入 StreamWriter 对象。序列化器对象现在一次性序列化整个 class：

XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(products));
serializer.Serialize(writer, products);

class 有一个名为 'Specifications' 的 Dictionary 成员。它是动态构建的，所以我事先不知道密钥。这是字典可能包含哪些数据的示例（键：值）：

颜色：蓝色
长度：110mm
宽度：55mm

我希望能够将属性序列化为：

...
<specifications>
  <color>blue</color>
  <length>110mm</length>
  <width>55mm</width>
</specifications>
...

我知道这是糟糕的 XML 设计，但它必须符合第 3 方规范。

是否有我可以使用的标准属性？如果没有，我怎么能像那样序列化字典？

如果您需要更多代码片段，请告诉我。

编辑：由于需求的一些变化，我放弃了 Dictionary。相反，我创建了一个 class "Specification":

public class Specification
{
    public string Name;
    public string Value;
    public bool IsOther;

    public Specification() : this(null, null, false) { }

    public Specification(string name, string value) : this(name, value, false) { }

    public Specification(string name, string value, bool isOther)
    {
        Name = name;
        Value = value;
        IsOther = isOther;
    }
}

为了避免通过在产品 class 中包含 "Specification" 的列表来重复元素 "spec"，我使用复数 class "Specifications" 来实现IXmlSerializable 接口：

public class Specifications: IXmlSerializable
{
    public List<Specification> Specs = new List<Specification>();

    public XmlSchema GetSchema()
    {
        return null;
    }

    public void ReadXml(XmlReader reader)
    {
        //I don't need deserialization, but it would be simple enough now.
        throw new System.NotImplementedException();
    }

    public void WriteXml(XmlWriter writer)
    {
        //write all "standarad", named specs
        //this writes the <color>blue</color>-like elements
        Specs.Where(s => !s.IsOther).ToList().ForEach(s => writer.WriteElementString(s.Name, s.Value));

        //write other specs
        //this writes <other_specs>{name|value[;]}*</other_specs>
        string otherSpecs = string.Join(";", Specs.Where(s => s.IsOther).Select(s => string.Concat(s.Name, "|", s.Value)));
        if (otherSpecs.Length > 0) writer.WriteElementString("other_specs", otherSpecs);
    }
}

class "Specifications" 应用为：

public class Product
{
    public Product()
    {
        Specifications = new Specifications();
    }

    [XmlElement("specs")]
    public Specifications Specifications;

    //this "feature" will not include <specs/> when there are none
    [XmlIgnore]
    public bool SpecificationsSpecified { get { return Specifications.Specs.Any(); } }

    //...
}

感谢您提供 IXmlSerializable 和 XmlWriter 的示例。我不知道 XmlWriter 的界面和用法 - 它对我来说是一个宝贵的灵感！

*这是我的第一个 SO 问题。关闭它最合适的方法是什么？我没有提供这个作为我自己的答案，因为它不是我最初问题（关于字典）的真正答案。

Answer 1

使字典非序列化

[XmlRoot("specifications")]
    public class Specifications
    {
         [NonSerialized]
         Dictionary<string, string> dict { get; set; }
         [XmlElement("color")]
         string color {get;set;}
         [XmlElement("length")]
         string length { get; set; }
         [XmlElement("width")]
         string width { get; set; }

         public Specifications()
         {
             dict = new Dictionary<string, string>();
         }
    }

假设您的字典值都是可以转换为字符串的简单类型，您可以创建自己的 IXmlSerializable 字典包装器来存储和检索键和值：

public class XmlKeyTextValueListWrapper<TValue> : CollectionWrapper<KeyValuePair<string, TValue>>, IXmlSerializable
{
    public XmlKeyTextValueListWrapper() : base(new List<KeyValuePair<string, TValue>>()) { } // For deserialization.

    public XmlKeyTextValueListWrapper(ICollection<KeyValuePair<string, TValue>> baseCollection) : base(baseCollection) { }

    public XmlKeyTextValueListWrapper(Func<ICollection<KeyValuePair<string, TValue>>> getCollection) : base(getCollection) {}

    #region IXmlSerializable Members

    public XmlSchema GetSchema()
    {
        return null;
    }

    public void ReadXml(XmlReader reader)
    {
        var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(TValue));
        XmlKeyValueListHelper.ReadXml(reader, this, converter);
    }

    public void WriteXml(XmlWriter writer)
    {
        var converter = TypeDescriptor.GetConverter(typeof(TValue));
        XmlKeyValueListHelper.WriteXml(writer, this, converter);
    }

    #endregion
}

public static class XmlKeyValueListHelper
{
    public static void WriteXml<T>(XmlWriter writer, ICollection<KeyValuePair<string, T>> collection, TypeConverter typeConverter)
    {
        foreach (var pair in collection)
        {
            writer.WriteStartElement(XmlConvert.EncodeName(pair.Key));
            writer.WriteValue(typeConverter.ConvertToInvariantString(pair.Value));
            writer.WriteEndElement();
        }
    }

    public static void ReadXml<T>(XmlReader reader, ICollection<KeyValuePair<string, T>> collection, TypeConverter typeConverter)
    {
        if (reader.IsEmptyElement)
        {
            reader.Read();
            return;
        }

        reader.ReadStartElement(); // Advance to the first sub element of the list element.
        while (reader.NodeType == XmlNodeType.Element)
        {
            var key = XmlConvert.DecodeName(reader.Name);
            string value;
            if (reader.IsEmptyElement)
            {
                value = string.Empty;
                // Move past the end of item element
                reader.Read();
            }
            else
            {
                // Read content and move past the end of item element
                value = reader.ReadElementContentAsString();
            }
            collection.Add(new KeyValuePair<string,T>(key, (T)typeConverter.ConvertFromInvariantString(value)));
        }
        // Move past the end of the list element
        reader.ReadEndElement();
    }

    public static void CopyTo<TValue>(this XmlKeyTextValueListWrapper<TValue> collection, ICollection<KeyValuePair<string, TValue>> dictionary)
    {
        if (dictionary == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException("dictionary");
        if (collection == null)
            dictionary.Clear();
        else
        {
            if (collection.IsWrapperFor(dictionary)) // For efficiency
                return;
            var pairs = collection.ToList();
            dictionary.Clear();
            foreach (var item in pairs)
                dictionary.Add(item);
        }
    }
}

public class CollectionWrapper<T> : ICollection<T>
{
    readonly Func<ICollection<T>> getCollection;

    public CollectionWrapper(ICollection<T> baseCollection)
    {
        if (baseCollection == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException();
        this.getCollection = () => baseCollection;
    }

    public CollectionWrapper(Func<ICollection<T>> getCollection)
    {
        if (getCollection == null)
            throw new ArgumentNullException();
        this.getCollection = getCollection;
    }

    public bool IsWrapperFor(ICollection<T> other)
    {
        if (other == Collection)
            return true;
        var otherWrapper = other as CollectionWrapper<T>;
        return otherWrapper != null && otherWrapper.IsWrapperFor(Collection);
    }

    ICollection<T> Collection { get { return getCollection(); } }

    #region ICollection<T> Members

    public void Add(T item)
    {
        Collection.Add(item);
    }

    public void Clear()
    {
        Collection.Clear();
    }

    public bool Contains(T item)
    {
        return Collection.Contains(item);
    }

    public void CopyTo(T[] array, int arrayIndex)
    {
        Collection.CopyTo(array, arrayIndex);
    }

    public int Count
    {
        get { return Collection.Count; }
    }

    public bool IsReadOnly
    {
        get { return Collection.IsReadOnly; }
    }

    public bool Remove(T item)
    {
        return Collection.Remove(item);
    }

    #endregion

    #region IEnumerable<T> Members

    public IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator()
    {
        return Collection.GetEnumerator();
    }

    #endregion

    #region IEnumerable Members

    System.Collections.IEnumerator System.Collections.IEnumerable.GetEnumerator()
    {
        return GetEnumerator();
    }

    #endregion
}

然后像这样使用它：

[XmlRoot("products")]
public class Products
{
    public Products()
    {
        Specifications = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    }

    [XmlIgnore]
    [JsonProperty("specifications")] // For testing purposes, I compare Json.NET serialization before and after XML serialization.  You can remove this.
    public Dictionary<string, string> Specifications { get; set; }

    [XmlElement("specifications")]
    [JsonIgnore] // For testing purposes, I compare Json.NET serialization before and after XML serialization.  You can remove this.
    public XmlKeyTextValueListWrapper<string> XmlSpecifications
    {
        get
        {
            return new XmlKeyTextValueListWrapper<string>(() => this.Specifications);
        }
        set
        {
            value.CopyTo(Specifications = (Specifications ?? new Dictionary<string, string>()));
        }
    }
}

您的字典值是简单类型（可直接从文本转换为文本）这一事实可以避免更复杂的 XmlSerializer 的嵌套创建。有关示例，请参阅。
