Ejemplos de serialización XML

La serialización XML puede adoptar más de una forma, de simple a compleja. Por ejemplo, puede serializar una clase que conste sólo de propiedades y campos públicos, como se muestra en Presentación de la serialización XML. En los siguientes ejemplos de código se explican varios escenarios avanzados, lo que incluye cómo utilizar la serialización XML para generar una secuencia XML que se ajuste a un documento específico de esquema XML (XSD).

Serializar DataSet

Además de serializar una instancia de una clase pública, también se puede serializar una instancia de DataSet, como se muestra en el siguiente ejemplo de código.

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();
}

Serializar XmlElement y XmlNode

También puede serializar instancias de una clase XmlElement o XmlNode, como se muestra en el siguiente ejemplo de código.

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();
}

Serializar una clase que contiene un campo que devuelve un objeto complejo

Si una propiedad o un campo devuelve un objeto complejo, como puede ser una matriz o una instancia de clase, XmlSerializer lo convierte en un elemento anidado en el documento XML principal. Por ejemplo, la primera clase del siguiente ejemplo de código devuelve una instancia de la segunda clase.

Public Class PurchaseOrder
    Public MyAdress As Address
End Class

Public Class Address
    Public FirstName As String
End Class

public class PurchaseOrder
{
    public Address MyAddress;
}
public class Address
{
    public string FirstName;
}

El resultado XML serializado tendría la apariencia siguiente.

<PurchaseOrder>
    <Address>
        <FirstName>George</FirstName>
    </Address>
</PurchaseOrder>

Serializar una matriz de objetos

También puede serializar un campo que devuelve una matriz de objetos, como se muestra en el siguiente ejemplo de código.

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
}

La instancia de la clase serializada se parecería a la siguiente, si se realiza el pedido de dos elementos.

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

Serializar una clase que implementa la interfaz ICollection

Puede crear sus propias clases de colección si implementa la interfaz ICollection y utiliza XmlSerializer para serializar instancias de estas clases. Tenga en cuenta que, cuando una clase implementa la interfaz ICollection, sólo se serializa la colección contenida en la clase. Los campos o propiedades públicos agregados a la clase no se serializarán. La clase debe incluir un método Add y una propiedad Item (indizador en C#) para serializarse.

Ejemplo de pedido

Puede cortar y pegar el código de ejemplo siguiente en un archivo de texto cuyo nombre se debe cambiar con la extensión .cs o .vb. Use el compilador de C# o de Visual Basic para compilar el archivo. A continuación, ejecútelo utilizando el nombre del ejecutable.

En este ejemplo se utiliza un escenario sencillo para demostrar cómo se crea una instancia de un objeto y se serializa en una secuencia de archivo utilizando el método Serialize. La secuencia XML se guarda en un archivo que después se lee y se reconstruye en una copia del objeto original utilizando el método Deserialize.

En este ejemplo, una clase denominada PurchaseOrder se serializa y después se deserializa. Se incluye igualmente una segunda clase denominada Address porque el campo público denominado ShipTo debe establecerse en Address. Asimismo, se incluye una clase OrderedItem porque debe establecerse una matriz de objetos OrderedItem para el campo OrderedItems. Por último, una clase denominada Test contiene el código que serializa y deserializa las clases.

El método CreatePO crea los objetos de clase PurchaseOrder, Address y OrderedItem, y establece los valores de los campos públicos. El método también construye una instancia de la clase XmlSerializer que se utiliza para serializar y deserializar PurchaseOrder. Observe que en el código se pasa el tipo de la clase que se serializará al constructor. También se crea una clase FileStream que se utiliza para escribir la secuencia XML en un documento XML.

El método ReadPo es algo más simple. Sólo crea objetos para deserializarlos y lee sus valores. Al igual que sucede con el método CreatePo, primero debe construir una XmlSerializer y pasar el tipo de la clase que se deserializará al constructor. Asimismo, se requiere un FileStream para leer el documento XML. Para deserializar los objetos, llame al método Deserialize con FileStream como argumento. El objeto deserializado debe convertirse en una variable de objeto de tipo PurchaseOrder. Seguidamente, el código lee los valores de la PurchaseOrder deserializada. Observe que, para ver el resultado XML real, también puede leer el archivo PO.xml que se crea.
