json - Lift Framework无法反序列化JSON数据

Question

我正在尝试使用Lift框架反序列化JSON文本，并且似乎没有它们支持Seq特征(尽管支持List)。举个例子...

一些代表员工的JSON数据(具有名字和姓氏)...

{"employees":[{"fname":"Bob","lname":"Hope"},{"fname":"Bob","lname":"Smith"}]}

这是员工的域对象:

case class Employee(fname: String, lname: String) { }
case class Employees(employees: Seq[Employee]) { }

这是我的JSON反序列化代码...

class EmployeeTest { 

  @Test def test() {
     val jsonText: String = ....
     val e = deserialize(jsonText)
  }

  def deserialize(in: String): Employees = {
    implicit val formats = net.liftweb.json.DefaultFormats
    net.liftweb.json.Serialization.read[Employees](in)
  }
}

如果我将Employees域对象更改为使用List而不是Seq，那么它将起作用。但是，如果可以的话，我真的很想使用Seq。

这是我运行上述代码(使用Seq)时看到的异常:我可以做些什么才能使它正常工作？谢谢你的帮助!

序列化不支持Seq，因为它不是具体类型。在反序列化期间，没有类型信息可用于决定具体的实现。我们可以使用List作为默认实现，但是以下属性将不再对所有类型都适用:

deserialize(serialize(x)) == x

此特定情况可以反序列化如下:

import net.liftweb.json._
import net.liftweb.json.JsonAST._

case class Employee(fname: String, lname: String)
case class Employees(employees: Seq[Employee])

object Test extends Application {
  implicit val formats = DefaultFormats
  val s = """ {"employees":[{"fname":"Bob","lname":"Hope"},{"fname":"Bob","lname":"Smith"}]} """

  val json = JsonParser.parse(s)
  val employees = Employees(for {
    JArray(emps) <- json \ "employees"
    emp <- emps
  } yield emp.extract[Employee])

  println(employees)
}
