Akka(40): Http:Marshalling reviewed - 传输数据序列化重温

2017-12-06 10:42 573 查看
上篇我们讨论了Akka-http的文件交换。由于文件内容编码和传输线上数据表达型式皆为bytes,所以可以直接把文件内容存进HttpEntity中进行传递。那么对于在内存里自定义的高级数据类型则应该需要首先进行byte转换后才能放入HttpEntity中了。高级数据类型与byte之间的相互转换就是marshalling和unmarshalling过程了。这个我们在前几篇讨论里提及过,在本篇再重温加强印象。因为我们的主要目的是实现数据库表行的交换,所以应该把焦点放在 T <-> MessageEntity这样的转换上。在Akka-http中T->MessageEntity转换是通过Marshaller[T,MessageEntity]实现的,Marshaller类型定义如下:

sealed abstract class Marshaller[-A, +B] {

def apply(value: A)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext): Future[List[Marshalling[B]]]
...
}
object Marshaller
extends GenericMarshallers
with PredefinedToEntityMarshallers
with PredefinedToResponseMarshallers
with PredefinedToRequestMarshallers {

/**
* Creates a [[Marshaller]] from the given function.
*/
def apply[A, B](f: ExecutionContext ⇒ A ⇒ Future[List[Marshalling[B]]]): Marshaller[A, B] =
new Marshaller[A, B] {
def apply(value: A)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext) =
try f(ec)(value)
catch { case NonFatal(e) ⇒ FastFuture.failed(e) }
}
...


这个类型包嵌了个类型转换函数:A => Future[List[Marshalling[B]]],最终目的是A=>B的转换。增加了一层Marshalling类型是为了更方便对B类型目标进行筛选、修改操作。我们看看类型Marshal的转换函数to[???]就明白了:

class Marshal[A](val value: A) {
/**
* Marshals `value` using the first available [[Marshalling]] for `A` and `B` provided by the given [[Marshaller]].
* If the marshalling is flexible with regard to the used charset `UTF-8` is chosen.
*/
def to[B](implicit m: Marshaller[A, B], ec: ExecutionContext): Future[B] =
m(value).fast.map {
_.head match {
case Marshalling.WithFixedContentType(_, marshal) ⇒ marshal()
case Marshalling.WithOpenCharset(_, marshal)      ⇒ marshal(HttpCharsets.`UTF-8`)
case Marshalling.Opaque(marshal)                  ⇒ marshal()
}
}


首先,在可视域内需要Marshaller[A,B]隐式实例存在,Marshalling提供筛选,最后Marshaller的包嵌函数marshal进行了具体的类型转换。Akka-http提供了基础数据类型到MessageEntity转换的隐式实例,如下:

trait PredefinedToEntityMarshallers extends MultipartMarshallers {

implicit val ByteArrayMarshaller: ToEntityMarshaller[Array[Byte]] = byteArrayMarshaller(`application/octet-stream`)
def byteArrayMarshaller(contentType: ContentType): ToEntityMarshaller[Array[Byte]] =
Marshaller.withFixedContentType(contentType) { bytes ⇒ HttpEntity(contentType, bytes) }

implicit val ByteStringMarshaller: ToEntityMarshaller[ByteString] = byteStringMarshaller(`application/octet-stream`)
def byteStringMarshaller(contentType: ContentType): ToEntityMarshaller[ByteString] =
Marshaller.withFixedContentType(contentType) { bytes ⇒ HttpEntity(contentType, bytes) }

implicit val CharArrayMarshaller: ToEntityMarshaller[Array[Char]] = charArrayMarshaller(`text/plain`)
def charArrayMarshaller(mediaType: MediaType.WithOpenCharset): ToEntityMarshaller[Array[Char]] =
Marshaller.withOpenCharset(mediaType) { (value, charset) ⇒ marshalCharArray(value, mediaType withCharset charset) }
def charArrayMarshaller(mediaType: MediaType.WithFixedCharset): ToEntityMarshaller[Array[Char]] =
Marshaller.withFixedContentType(mediaType) { value ⇒ marshalCharArray(value, mediaType) }

private def marshalCharArray(value: Array[Char], contentType: ContentType.NonBinary): HttpEntity.Strict =
if (value.length > 0) {
val charBuffer = CharBuffer.wrap(value)
val byteBuffer = contentType.charset.nioCharset.encode(charBuffer)
val array = new Array[Byte](byteBuffer.remaining())
byteBuffer.get(array)
HttpEntity(contentType, array)
} else HttpEntity.Empty

implicit val DoneMarshaller: ToEntityMarshaller[akka.Done] =
Marshaller.withFixedContentType(`text/plain(UTF-8)`) { done ⇒
HttpEntity(`text/plain(UTF-8)`, "")
}

implicit val StringMarshaller: ToEntityMarshaller[String] = stringMarshaller(`text/plain`)
def stringMarshaller(mediaType: MediaType.WithOpenCharset): ToEntityMarshaller[String] =
Marshaller.withOpenCharset(mediaType) { (s, cs) ⇒ HttpEntity(mediaType withCharset cs, s) }
def stringMarshaller(mediaType: MediaType.WithFixedCharset): ToEntityMarshaller[String] =
Marshaller.withFixedContentType(mediaType) { s ⇒ HttpEntity(mediaType, s) }

implicit val FormDataMarshaller: ToEntityMarshaller[FormData] =
Marshaller.withOpenCharset(`application/x-www-form-urlencoded`) { _ toEntity _ }

implicit val MessageEntityMarshaller: ToEntityMarshaller[MessageEntity] =
Marshaller strict { value ⇒ Marshalling.WithFixedContentType(value.contentType, () ⇒ value) }
}

object PredefinedToEntityMarshallers extends PredefinedToEntityMarshallers


注意:上面的这些转换函数类型都是ToEntityMarshaller,这是一个类型别称,实际上就是Marshaller[T,MessageEntity]:

type ToEntityMarshaller[T] = Marshaller[T, MessageEntity]


从源代码上看这些Marshaller的隐式实例都提供了转换函数 T=>HttpEntity。这样就可以在实际类型转换时只要能找到对应Marshaller的隐式实例就可以调用它的转换函数进行转换操作了。

现在,只要通过import把这些隐式实例导入可视域内就可以这样调用Marshal了:

import akka.http.scaladsl.marshalling.Marshal


val aChars = Array[Char]('h','e','l','l','o')
val aBytes = Array[Byte](0,1,2,3)
val strHello = Marshal("Hello").to[MessageEntity]
val chHello = Marshal(aChars).to[MessageEntity]
val bt0123 = Marshal(aBytes).to[MessageEntity]


那么对于结构复杂的自定义类型又如何呢?如下:

case class Person(id: Int, name: String)
val john = Person(12,"John")
val futP = Marshal(john).to[MessageEntity]


这个futP无法通过编译,报错如下:

Error:(17, 30) could not find implicit value for parameter m: akka.http.scaladsl.marshalling.Marshaller[MarshalDemo.Person,akka.http.scaladsl.model.MessageEntity]
val futP = Marshal(john).to[MessageEntity]


这是因为编译器compiler无法找到Marshaller[Person,MessageEntity]这个类型的隐式实例。现在我只为Person自定义一个Marshaller隐式实例:

implicit val PersonMarshaller: ToEntityMarshaller[Person] = personMarshaller(`text/plain`)
def personMarshaller(mediaType: MediaType.WithOpenCharset): ToEntityMarshaller[Person] =
Marshaller.withOpenCharset(mediaType) { (p, ps) ⇒ HttpEntity(mediaType withCharset ps, ByteString(p.toString)) }
def personMarshaller(mediaType: MediaType.WithFixedCharset): ToEntityMarshaller[Person] =
Marshaller.withFixedContentType(mediaType) { p ⇒ HttpEntity(mediaType, ByteString(p.toString)) }


这个Marshaller代表的转换过程是:Person -> Person.String -> ByteString。中间多了层用String函数来描述Person类型。这只是我个人的转换方式,所以反向转换Unmarshalling也必须按照我的方式把String转回Person。实际上这种转换的开放标准之一就是Json,大家共同按照标准要求的表达形式进行转换操作就能达到同样的目的了。

Akka-http自带的Json解决方案用的是Spray-Json,下面我们就用Spray-Json来实现转换:

import akka.http.scaladsl.marshallers.sprayjson._
import spray.json._

trait Formats extends SprayJsonSupport with DefaultJsonProtocol
object Converters extends Formats {
case class Person(id: Int, name: String)
implicit val userFormat = jsonFormat2(Person.apply)
}
...
import Converters._
val john = Person(12,"John")
val futP = Marshal(john).to[MessageEntity]


现在的转换流程变成了:Person -> Json -> ByteString。Akka-http是通过RootJasonFormat[T]来提供转换隐式实例的:

/**
* A special JsonFormat signaling that the format produces a legal JSON root object, i.e. either a JSON array
* or a JSON object.
*/
trait RootJsonFormat[T] extends JsonFormat[T] with RootJsonReader[T] with RootJsonWriter[T]

RootJsonFormat[T]代表T类型实例的Json转换。RootJsonFormat[T]的继承父辈包括:
/**
* Provides the JSON deserialization and serialization for type T.
*/
trait JsonFormat[T] extends JsonReader[T] with JsonWriter[T]

/**
* A special JsonReader capable of reading a legal JSON root object, i.e. either a JSON array or a JSON object.
*/
@implicitNotFound(msg = "Cannot find RootJsonReader or RootJsonFormat type class for ${T}")
trait RootJsonReader[T] extends JsonReader[T]

/**
* A special JsonWriter capable of writing a legal JSON root object, i.e. either a JSON array or a JSON object.
*/
@implicitNotFound(msg = "Cannot find RootJsonWriter or RootJsonFormat type class for ${T}")
trait RootJsonWriter[T] extends JsonWriter[T]


在我们的例子里Person的Marshaller隐式实例是通过jsonFormat2函数获取的:

def jsonFormat2[P1 :JF, P2 :JF, T <: Product :ClassManifest](construct: (P1, P2) => T): RootJsonFormat[T] = {
val Array(p1, p2) = extractFieldNames(classManifest[T])
jsonFormat(construct, p1, p2)
}
def jsonFormat[P1 :JF, P2 :JF, T <: Product](construct: (P1, P2) => T, fieldName1: String, fieldName2: String): RootJsonFormat[T] = new RootJsonFormat[T]{
def write(p: T) = {
val fields = new collection.mutable.ListBuffer[(String, JsValue)]
fields.sizeHint(2 * 3)
fields ++= productElement2Field[P1](fieldName1, p, 0)
fields ++= productElement2Field[P2](fieldName2, p, 1)
JsObject(fields: _*)
}
def read(value: JsValue) = {
val p1V = fromField[P1](value, fieldName1)
val p2V = fromField[P2](value, fieldName2)
construct(p1V, p2V)
}
}


就是这个函数返回了RootJsonFormat[T]。可以看到,功能的具体实现在jsonFormat函数里,在这里实现了对json数据结构的读写。jsonFormat2是在ProductFormatsInstances trait里的,也就是ProductFormats:

trait ProductFormats extends ProductFormatsInstances {
this: StandardFormats =>


我们上面例子里的Formats trait继承了DefaultJsonProtocal,这里面包括了所有json转换实例构建方法:

/**
* Provides all the predefined JsonFormats.
*/
trait DefaultJsonProtocol
extends BasicFormats
with StandardFormats
with CollectionFormats
with ProductFormats
with AdditionalFormats

object DefaultJsonProtocol extends DefaultJsonProtocol


再看看RootJasonFormat及相关继承情况:

/**
* A special JsonFormat signaling that the format produces a legal JSON root object, i.e. either a JSON array
* or a JSON object.
*/
trait RootJsonFormat[T] extends JsonFormat[T] with RootJsonReader[T] with RootJsonWriter[T]

/**
* Provides the JSON deserialization and serialization for type T.
*/
trait JsonFormat[T] extends JsonReader[T] with JsonWriter[T]

/**
* A special JsonReader capable of reading a legal JSON root object, i.e. either a JSON array or a JSON object.
*/
@implicitNotFound(msg = "Cannot find RootJsonReader or RootJsonFormat type class for ${T}")
trait RootJsonReader[T] extends JsonReader[T]

/**
* A special JsonWriter capable of writing a legal JSON root object, i.e. either a JSON array or a JSON object.
*/
@implicitNotFound(msg = "Cannot find RootJsonWriter or RootJsonFormat type class for ${T}")
trait RootJsonWriter[T] extends JsonWriter[T]


下面是Spray-Json的具体实现:

package json {

case class DeserializationException(msg: String, cause: Throwable = null, fieldNames: List[String] = Nil) extends RuntimeException(msg, cause)
class SerializationException(msg: String) extends RuntimeException(msg)

private[json] class PimpedAny[T](any: T) {
def toJson(implicit writer: JsonWriter[T]): JsValue = writer.write(any)
}

private[json] class PimpedString(string: String) {
@deprecated("deprecated in favor of parseJson", "1.2.6")
def asJson: JsValue = parseJson
def parseJson: JsValue = JsonParser(string)
}
}


toJson,asJason分别需要JsonWriter,JsonReader的隐式实例。

从上面的讨论中我们对任意结构类型的一个实例进行序列化转换有了一定了解。这个类型的实例可以被是作为数据库的一条记录,通过上面讨论的方式在服务端和客户端进行交换。这是因为SprayJsonSupport可以提供任意类T的Marshaller[T,MessageEntity]隐式实例。

因为我们的主要目的是实现数据库表多行的交换,所以必须要实现以表行为元素数据流的数据交换,也就是说最起码能要在可视域内提供Marshall[Source[T],_],MessageEnity]及Unmarshaller[MessageEntity,Source[T,_]]的隐式实例才行。在服务端我们尝试过用complete(Source[T,NotUsed])来完成HttpResponse的构建。但单独用Marshal(source).to[Source[T,NotUsed]]则编译出错。这是因为Akka-http提供的是ToResponseMarshaller[Source[T,M]]的隐式实例:

implicit def fromEntityStreamingSupportAndByteStringMarshaller[T, M](implicit s: EntityStreamingSupport, m: ToByteStringMarshaller[T]): ToResponseMarshaller[Source[T, M]] = {
Marshaller[Source[T, M], HttpResponse] { implicit ec ⇒ source ⇒
FastFuture successful {
Marshalling.WithFixedContentType(s.contentType, () ⇒ {
val availableMarshallingsPerElement = source.mapAsync(1) { t ⇒ m(t)(ec) }

// TODO optimise such that we pick the optimal marshalling only once (headAndTail needed?)
// TODO, NOTE: this is somewhat duplicated from Marshal.scala it could be made DRYer
val bestMarshallingPerElement = availableMarshallingsPerElement mapConcat { marshallings ⇒
// pick the Marshalling that matches our EntityStreamingSupport
(s.contentType match {
case best @ (_: ContentType.Binary | _: ContentType.WithFixedCharset | _: ContentType.WithMissingCharset) ⇒
marshallings collectFirst { case Marshalling.WithFixedContentType(`best`, marshal) ⇒ marshal }

case best @ ContentType.WithCharset(bestMT, bestCS) ⇒
marshallings collectFirst {
case Marshalling.WithFixedContentType(`best`, marshal) ⇒ marshal
case Marshalling.WithOpenCharset(`bestMT`, marshal)    ⇒ () ⇒ marshal(bestCS)
}
}).toList
}
val marshalledElements: Source[ByteString, M] =
bestMarshallingPerElement.map(_.apply()) // marshal!
.via(s.framingRenderer)

HttpResponse(entity = HttpEntity(s.contentType, marshalledElements))
}) :: Nil
}
}
}


这个complete(m => ToResponseMarshallable)是个magnet-pattern函数,巧妙在ToResponseMarshallable参数类型:

/** Something that can later be marshalled into a response */
trait ToResponseMarshallable {
type T
def value: T
implicit def marshaller: ToResponseMarshaller[T]

def apply(request: HttpRequest)(implicit ec: ExecutionContext): Future[HttpResponse] =
Marshal(value).toResponseFor(request)
}

object ToResponseMarshallable {
implicit def apply[A](_value: A)(implicit _marshaller: ToResponseMarshaller[A]): ToResponseMarshallable =
new ToResponseMarshallable {
type T = A
def value: T = _value
def marshaller: ToResponseMarshaller[T] = _marshaller
}

implicit val marshaller: ToResponseMarshaller[ToResponseMarshallable] =
Marshaller { implicit ec ⇒ marshallable ⇒ marshallable.marshaller(marshallable.value) }
}


magnet-pattern我们就不多谈了。但它的伴生对象中包含了对任何类型ToResponseMarshallable的隐式实例,所以complete能够通过编译。SprayJsonSupport中倒是提供了Unmarshaller[MessageEntity,T]的隐式实例:

// support for as[Source[T, NotUsed]]
implicit def sprayJsonSourceReader[T](implicit reader: RootJsonReader[T], support: EntityStreamingSupport): FromEntityUnmarshaller[Source[T, NotUsed]] =
Unmarshaller.withMaterializer { implicit ec ⇒ implicit mat ⇒ e ⇒
if (support.supported.matches(e.contentType)) {
val frames = e.dataBytes.via(support.framingDecoder)
val unmarshal = sprayJsonByteStringUnmarshaller(reader)(_)
val unmarshallingFlow =
if (support.unordered) Flow[ByteString].mapAsyncUnordered(support.parallelism)(unmarshal)
else Flow[ByteString].mapAsync(support.parallelism)(unmarshal)
val elements = frames.viaMat(unmarshallingFlow)(Keep.right)
FastFuture.successful(elements)
} else FastFuture.failed(Unmarshaller.UnsupportedContentTypeException(support.supported))
}


看来如果需要实现stream的双向交换,我们还必须提供Marshaller[Source[T,NotUsed],MessageEntity]以及Unmarshaller[MessageEntity,Source[T,NotUsed]]才行。篇幅所限,具体实现方法移到下篇讨论。
