Gson使用方法之Serializing list

Serializing list

理论上序列化集合应该与序列化其他对象时一致的，关键在于集合中的类型信息并没有包含在json序列中，因此在反序列化List时需要类型信息

Gson提供了TypeToken用来获得类型信息，这里尝试解释list中存放不同类型的实例失败，正确的方式是遍历json序列，参见 Gson使用方法之streaming

代码：

import java.lang.reflect.Type;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;

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


class Album {
	public Album(String album_id, String album_title) {
		this.album_id = album_id;
		this.setAlbum_title(album_title);
	}
	public String getAlbumId() {
		return album_id;
	}
	public String getAlbum_title() {
		return album_title;
	}
	public void setAlbum_title(String album_title) {
		this.album_title = album_title;
	}
	private String album_id;
	private String album_title;
}
class AlbumOther {
	public AlbumOther(int seq) {
		this.album_seq = seq;
	}
	int album_seq;
}
public class ParseCollectionTest {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ArrayList<Object> datasets = new ArrayList<Object>();
		datasets.add(new Album("1", "follow the river"));
		datasets.add(new Album("2", "born with flower"));
		//datasets.add(new AlbumOther(3));    //can not deal with different class
		GsonBuilder builder = new GsonBuilder();
		Gson gson = builder.create();
		String json = gson.toJson(datasets);
		System.out.println(json);
		Type datasetType = new TypeToken<Collection<Album>>(){}.getType();
		System.out.println(datasetType.toString());
		ArrayList<Album> JsonToList = gson.fromJson(json, datasetType);
		for (Album album : JsonToList) {
			System.out.println(album.getAlbumId());
			System.out.println(album.getAlbum_title());
		}
	}
