Beispiele für die XML-Serialisierung

Die XML-Serialisierung kann verschiedenste Formen nehmen, von einfach bis zu komplex. Sie können beispielsweise, wie unter Introducing XML Serialization (Einführung in die XML-Serialisierung) beschrieben, eine Klasse serialisieren, die nur aus öffentlichen Feldern und Eigenschaften besteht. Die folgenden Codebeispiele beziehen sich auf verschiedene komplexe Szenarios, einschließlich der Verwendung der XML-Serialisierung zur Generierung eines XML-Streams, der einem bestimmten XSD-Dokument (XML Schema) entspricht.

Serialisieren eines DataSets

Neben Instanzen einer öffentlichen Klasse können Sie auch Instanzen von DataSet serialisieren. Dies wird im folgenden Codebeispiel veranschaulicht.

Private Sub SerializeDataSet(filename As String)
    Dim ser As XmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(GetType(DataSet))
    ' Creates a DataSet; adds a table, column, and ten rows.
    Dim ds As DataSet = new DataSet("myDataSet")
    Dim t As DataTable = new DataTable("table1")
    Dim c As DataColumn = new DataColumn("thing")
    t.Columns.Add(c)
    ds.Tables.Add(t)
    Dim r As DataRow
    Dim i As Integer
    for i = 0 to 10
        r = t.NewRow()
        r(0) = "Thing " &  i
        t.Rows.Add(r)
    Next
    Dim writer As TextWriter = new StreamWriter(filename)
    ser.Serialize(writer, ds)
    writer.Close()
End Sub

private void SerializeDataSet(string filename)
{
    XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(DataSet));

    // Creates a DataSet; adds a table, column, and ten rows.
    DataSet ds = new DataSet("myDataSet");
    DataTable t = new DataTable("table1");
    DataColumn c = new DataColumn("thing");
    t.Columns.Add(c);
    ds.Tables.Add(t);
    DataRow r;

    for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
        r = t.NewRow();
        r[0] = "Thing " + i;
        t.Rows.Add(r);
    }

    TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename);
    ser.Serialize(writer, ds);
    writer.Close();
}

Serialisieren von XmlElement und XmlNode

Sie können auch Instanzen einer XmlElement-Klasse oder XmlNode-Klasse serialisieren, wie im folgenden Codebeispiel gezeigt:

private Sub SerializeElement(filename As String)
    Dim ser As XmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(GetType(XmlElement))
    Dim myElement As XmlElement = _
    new XmlDocument().CreateElement("MyElement", "ns")
    myElement.InnerText = "Hello World"
    Dim writer As TextWriter = new StreamWriter(filename)
    ser.Serialize(writer, myElement)
    writer.Close()
End Sub

Private Sub SerializeNode(filename As String)
    Dim ser As XmlSerializer = _
    new XmlSerializer(GetType(XmlNode))
    Dim myNode As XmlNode = new XmlDocument(). _
    CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "MyNode", "ns")
    myNode.InnerText = "Hello Node"
    Dim writer As TextWriter = new StreamWriter(filename)
    ser.Serialize(writer, myNode)
    writer.Close()
End Sub

private void SerializeElement(string filename)
{
    XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(XmlElement));
    XmlElement myElement = new XmlDocument().CreateElement("MyElement", "ns");
    myElement.InnerText = "Hello World";
    TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename);
    ser.Serialize(writer, myElement);
    writer.Close();
}

private void SerializeNode(string filename)
{
    XmlSerializer ser = new XmlSerializer(typeof(XmlNode));
    XmlNode myNode = new XmlDocument().
    CreateNode(XmlNodeType.Element, "MyNode", "ns");
    myNode.InnerText = "Hello Node";
    TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename);
    ser.Serialize(writer, myNode);
    writer.Close();
}

Serialisieren einer Klasse, die ein Feld enthält, das ein komplexes Objekt zurückgibt

Wenn eine Eigenschaft oder ein Feld ein komplexes Objekt zurückgibt (z. B. ein Array oder eine Klasseninstanz), wird dieses von XmlSerializer in ein Element konvertiert, das innerhalb des XML-Hauptdokuments geschachtelt ist. Die erste Klasse im folgenden Codebeispiel gibt beispielsweise eine Instanz der zweiten Klasse zurück.

Public Class PurchaseOrder
    Public MyAddress As Address
End Class

Public Class Address
    Public FirstName As String
End Class

public class PurchaseOrder
{
    public Address MyAddress;
}

public record Address
{
    public string FirstName;
}

Die serialisierte XML-Ausgabe könnte wie folgt aussehen:

<PurchaseOrder>
    <MyAddress>
        <FirstName>George</FirstName>
    </MyAddress>
</PurchaseOrder>

Serialisieren eines Arrays von Objekten

Sie können ein Feld serialisieren, das ein Array von Objekten zurückgibt, wie im folgenden Codebeispiel gezeigt.

Public Class PurchaseOrder
    public ItemsOrders () As Item
End Class

Public Class Item
    Public ItemID As String
    Public ItemPrice As decimal
End Class

public class PurchaseOrder
{
    public Item [] ItemsOrders;
}

public class Item
{
    public string ItemID;
    public decimal ItemPrice;
}

Wenn zwei Elemente angefordert wurden, könnte die serialisierte Klasseninstanz etwa wie der folgende Code aussehen:

<PurchaseOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <ItemsOrders>
        <Item>
            <ItemID>aaa111</ItemID>
            <ItemPrice>34.22</ItemPrice>
        </Item>
        <Item>
            <ItemID>bbb222</ItemID>
            <ItemPrice>2.89</ItemPrice>
        </Item>
    </ItemsOrders>
</PurchaseOrder>

Serialisieren einer Klasse, die die ICollection-Schnittstelle implementiert

Sie können eigene Auflistungsklassen erstellen, indem Sie die ICollection-Schnittstelle implementieren und Instanzen dieser Klasse mithilfe der XmlSerializer-Klasse serialisieren.

        Dim Emps As Employees  = new Employees()
        ' Note that only the collection is serialized -- not the
        ' CollectionName or any other public property of the class.
        Emps.CollectionName = "Employees"
        Dim John100 As Employee = new Employee("John", "100xxx")
        Emps.Add(John100)
        Dim x As XmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(GetType(Employees))
        Dim writer As TextWriter = new StreamWriter(filename)
        x.Serialize(writer, Emps)
        writer.Close()
    End Sub

Beispiel für eine Bestellung

Sie können den folgenden Beispielcode ausschneiden, in eine Textdatei einfügen und mit der Dateierweiterung CS oder VB umbenennen. Kompilieren Sie die Datei mit dem C#- oder Visual Basic-Compiler. Führen Sie den Code dann mit dem Namen der ausführbaren Datei aus.

In diesem Beispiel wird anhand eines einfachen Szenarios veranschaulicht, wie eine Instanz eines Objekts erstellt und über die Serialize-Methode serialisiert wird. Der XML-Datenstrom wird in einer Datei gespeichert. Dieselbe Datei wird dann eingelesen und mithilfe der Deserialize-Methode als Kopie des Originalobjekts rekonstruiert.

In diesem Beispiel wird eine Klasse namens PurchaseOrder serialisiert und dann wieder deserialisiert. Außerdem ist eine zweite Klasse namens Address enthalten, weil das öffentliche Feld mit der Bezeichnung ShipTo auf einen Wert im Feld Address festgelegt werden muss. Ebenso ist die OrderedItem-Klasse enthalten, da ein Array von OrderedItem-Objekten auf das OrderedItems Feld festgelegt werden muss. Schließlich enthält eine Klasse mit der Bezeichnung Test den Code, der die Klassen serialisiert und deserialisiert.

Durch die CreatePO-Methode werden das PurchaseOrder-Klassenobjekt, das Address-Klassenobjekt und das OrderedItem-Klassenobjekt erstellt und die Werte für die öffentlichen Felder festgelegt. Die Methode erstellt außerdem eine Instanz der XmlSerializer-Klasse, die zum Serialisieren und Deserialisieren des PurchaseOrder-Objekts verwendet wird.

Die ReadPo-Methode ist etwas einfacher. Sie erstellt nur Objekte, die deserialisiert werden sollen, und liest ihre Werte aus. Wie bei der CreatePo-Methode müssen Sie zunächst eine XmlSerializer-Instanz erstellen und den Typ der zu deserialisierenden Klasse an den Konstruktor übergeben. Zum Lesen des XML-Dokuments ist zudem ein FileStream-Objekt erforderlich. Um die Objekte zu deserialisieren, rufen Sie die Deserialize-Methode mit dem FileStream-Objekt als Argument auf. Das deserialisierte Objekt muss in eine Objektvariable des Typs PurchaseOrder umgewandelt werden. Im Code werden dann die Werte der deserialisierten PurchaseOrder-Objektvariablen gelesen.
