XML シリアル化の例

XML シリアル化は、単純なものから複雑なものまで、複数の形式をとることができます。 たとえば、「XML シリアル化の概要」に示すように、パブリック フィールドとプロパティで構成されるクラス をシリアル化できます。 次のコード例では、XML シリアル化を使用して、特定の XML スキーマ (XSD) ドキュメントに準拠する XML ストリームを生成する方法など、さまざまな高度なシナリオに対処します。

DataSet のシリアル化

パブリック クラスのインスタンスをシリアル化するだけでなく、次のコード例に示すように、 DataSetのインスタンスをシリアル化することもできます。

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();
}

XmlElement と XmlNode のシリアル化

次のコード例に示すように、 XmlElement または XmlNode クラスのインスタンスをシリアル化することもできます。

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();
}

複合オブジェクトを返すフィールドを含むクラスのシリアル化

プロパティまたはフィールドが複合オブジェクト (配列やクラス インスタンスなど) を返す場合、 XmlSerializer はメイン XML ドキュメント内で入れ子になった要素に変換します。 たとえば、次のコード例の最初のクラスは、2 番目のクラスのインスタンスを返します。

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;
}

シリアル化された XML 出力は次のようになります。

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

オブジェクトの配列のシリアル化

次のコード例に示すように、オブジェクトの配列を返すフィールドをシリアル化することもできます。

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;
}

2 つの項目を並べ替えた場合、シリアル化されたクラス インスタンスは次のコードのようになります。

<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>

ICollection インターフェイスを実装するクラスのシリアル化

ICollection インターフェイスを実装し、XmlSerializerを使用してこれらのクラスのインスタンスをシリアル化することで、独自のコレクション クラスを作成できます。

Imports System.Xml.Serialization

Public Class Test
    Shared Sub Main()
        Dim t As Test= new Test()
        t.SerializeCollection("coll.xml")

    Private Sub SerializeCollection(filename As String)
        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
End Class

Public Class Employees
    Implements ICollection
    Public CollectionName As String
    Private empArray As ArrayList = new ArrayList()

    Public ReadOnly Default Overloads _
    Property Item(index As Integer) As Employee
        get

        End Get
    End Property

    Public Function GetEnumerator() As IEnumerator _
    Implements IEnumerable.GetEnumerator

        return empArray.GetEnumerator()
    End Function

    Public Function Add(newEmployee As Employee) As Integer
        empArray.Add(newEmployee)
        return empArray.Count
    End Function
End Class

Public Class Employee
    Public EmpName As String
    Public EmpID As String

    Public Sub New ()
    End Sub

    Public Sub New (newName As String , newID As String )
        EmpName = newName
        EmpID = newID
    End Sub
End Class

using System;
using System.Collections;

using System.Xml.Serialization;

public class Test
{

    {
        Test t = new Test();
        t.SerializeCollection("coll.xml");
    }

    private void SerializeCollection(string filename)
    {
        Employees Emps = new Employees();
        // Note that only the collection is serialized -- not the
        // CollectionName or any other public property of the class.
        Emps.CollectionName = "Employees";
        Employee John100 = new Employee("John", "100xxx");
        Emps.Add(John100);
        XmlSerializer x = new XmlSerializer(typeof(Employees));
        TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename);
        x.Serialize(writer, Emps);
    }
}

public class Employees : ICollection
{
    public string CollectionName;
    private ArrayList empArray = new ArrayList();

    public Employee this[int index] => (Employee) empArray[index];

    public void CopyTo(Array a, int index)
    {
        empArray.CopyTo(a, index);
    }
    
    public int Count => empArray.Count;
    
    public object SyncRoot => this;
    
    public bool IsSynchronized => false;
    
    public IEnumerator GetEnumerator() => empArray.GetEnumerator();

    public void Add(Employee newEmployee)
    {
        empArray.Add(newEmployee);
    }
}

public class Employee

    public string EmpName;
    public string EmpID;
    
    public Employee() {}
    
    public Employee(string empName, string empID)
    {
        EmpName = empName;
        EmpID = empID;

発注書の例

次のコード例を切り取ってテキスト ファイルに貼り付け、.csまたは.vbファイル名拡張子で名前を変更できます。 C# または Visual Basic コンパイラを使用してファイルをコンパイルします。 次に、実行可能ファイルの名前を使用して実行します。

この例では、単純なシナリオを使用して、 Serialize メソッドを使用してオブジェクトのインスタンスを作成し、ファイル ストリームにシリアル化する方法を示します。 XML ストリームはファイルに保存されます。 その後、同じファイルが読み取られ、 Deserialize メソッドを使用して元のオブジェクトのコピーに再構築されます。

この例では、 PurchaseOrder という名前のクラスをシリアル化し、逆シリアル化します。 Addressという名前の 2 番目のクラスも含まれます。これは、ShipToという名前のパブリック フィールドをAddressに設定する必要があるためです。 同様に、OrderedItem オブジェクトの配列を OrderedItem フィールドに設定する必要があるため、OrderedItems クラスが含まれます。 最後に、 Test という名前のクラスには、クラスをシリアル化および逆シリアル化するコードが含まれています。

CreatePO メソッドは、PurchaseOrder、Address、およびOrderedItemクラス オブジェクトを作成し、パブリック フィールドの値を設定します。 このメソッドは、XmlSerializerのシリアル化と逆シリアル化に使用されるPurchaseOrder クラスのインスタンスも構築します。

ReadPoメソッドは少し簡単です。 逆シリアル化して値を読み取るオブジェクトを作成するだけです。 CreatePo メソッドと同様に、最初にXmlSerializerを構築し、逆シリアル化するクラスの型をコンストラクターに渡す必要があります。 また、XML ドキュメントを読み取るために FileStream が必要です。 オブジェクトを逆シリアル化するには、Deserializeを引数として使用して FileStream メソッドを呼び出します。 逆シリアル化されたオブジェクトは、 PurchaseOrder型のオブジェクト変数にキャストする必要があります。 その後、逆シリアル化された PurchaseOrderの値を読み取ります。
