为什么 F# Discriminated Union 无法让 JSON.NET 尊重其 TypeConverter 但其他类型可以？

Question

#r "../packages/Newtonsoft.Json.12.0.3/lib/netstandard2.0/Newtonsoft.Json.dll"
type [<Struct; System.ComponentModel.TypeConverterAttribute(typeof<CC>)>] C = A of string
and CC() = 
    inherit System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter()
    override _.CanConvertFrom (_, t) = t = typeof<string>
    override _.ConvertFrom(_, _, s) = s :?> string |> A |> box<C>
    override _.CanConvertTo (_, t) = t = typeof<string>
    override _.ConvertTo(_, _, s, _) = s :?> C |> fun (A s) -> s |> box<string>
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject {|a = A "123"|}

这导致 val it : string = "{"a":{"Case":"A","Fields":["123"]}}"，这表明 TypeConverter 未得到遵守。对于参考 DU 也会发生这种情况。

但是，JsonConverters 不会发生这种情况：

#r "../packages/Newtonsoft.Json.12.0.3/lib/netstandard2.0/Newtonsoft.Json.dll"
type [<Struct; Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConverter(typeof<CC>)>] C = A of string
and CC() = 
    inherit Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConverter()
    override _.CanConvert t = t = typeof<string>
    override _.ReadJson (r, _, _, _) = r.ReadAsString() |> A |> box<C>
    override _.WriteJson (w, v, _) = v :?> C |> fun (A s) -> s |> w.WriteValue
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject {|a = A "123"|}

这导致 val it : string = "{"a":"123"}"。

将此与记录进行比较：

#r "../packages/Newtonsoft.Json.12.0.3/lib/netstandard2.0/Newtonsoft.Json.dll"
type [<Struct; System.ComponentModel.TypeConverterAttribute(typeof<CC>)>] C = { A: string }
and CC() = 
    inherit System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter()
    override _.CanConvertFrom (_, t) = t = typeof<string>
    override _.ConvertFrom(_, _, s) = { A = s :?> string } |> box<C>
    override _.CanConvertTo (_, t) = t = typeof<string>
    override _.ConvertTo(_, _, s, _) = (s :?> C).A |> box<string>
Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject {|a = { A = "123"}|}

这也导致 val it : string = "{"a":"123"}"，这表明 TypeConverter 受到尊重。

这表明某些东西正在阻止识别受歧视工会中的 TypeConverters。会是什么原因呢？ JsonConverters 在字典键中不可用，所以我希望 TypeConverters 表现更好。正确序列化上述受歧视联合的可行方法是什么？

你的问题是 Json.NET 有它自己的内置转换器来区分联合，DiscriminatedUnionConverter。任何适用的 JsonConverter 将始终取代已应用的 TypeConverter.

可以通过在 settings or via an applied JsonConverterAttribute. You have already created a converter that correctly converts your type C, but if you would prefer to fall back to the applied TypeConverter, you can create a JsonConverter that does nothing and falls back on default serialization by returning false from CanRead and CanWrite:

中提供您自己的备用 JsonConverter 来禁用内置转换器

type NoConverter<'a> () =
    inherit JsonConverter()
    override this.CanConvert(t) = (t = typedefof<'a>)
    override this.CanRead = false
    override this.CanWrite = false
    override this.WriteJson(_, _, _) =  raise (NotImplementedException());
    override this.ReadJson(_, _, _, _) =  raise (NotImplementedException());

然后按如下方式将其应用到您的类型中（演示 fiddle #1 here）：

type [<JsonConverterAttribute(typeof<NoConverter<C>>); System.ComponentModel.TypeConverterAttribute(typeof<CC>)>] C = A of string
and CC() = 
    inherit System.ComponentModel.TypeConverter()
    override this.CanConvertFrom (_, t) = (t = typeof<string>)
    override this.ConvertFrom(_, _, s) = s :?> string |> A |> box<C>
    override this.CanConvertTo (_, t) = t = typeof<string>
    override this.ConvertTo(_, _, s, _) = s :?> C |> fun (A s) -> s |> box<string>

printfn "%s" (Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(A "123"))

或者，在设置中使用它如下（demo fiddle #2 here）：

let settings = JsonSerializerSettings(Converters = [|NoConverter<C>()|])
printfn "%s" (Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.SerializeObject(A "123", settings))

Why does an F# Discriminated Union fails to have its TypeConverter respected by JSON.NET but other types can?
