Java Record 的一些思考 - 序列化相关 java

Java Record 序列化相关 Record 在设计之初，就是为了找寻一种纯表示数据的类型载体。Java 的 class 现在经过不断的迭代做功能加法，用法已经非常复杂，各种语法糖，各种多态构造器，各种继承设计导致针对 Java 的序列化框架也做得非常复杂，要考虑的情况有很多很多。每次 Java 升级，如果对类结构有做改动或者加入了新特性，那么序列化框架就都需要改来兼容。这样会阻碍 Java 的发展，于是设计出了 Record 这个专门用来存储数据的类型。
经过上一节的分析我们知道，Record 类型声明后就是 final 的，在编译后，根据 Record 源码插入相关域与方法的字节码，包括：

自动生成的 private final field
自动生成的全属性构造器
自动生成的 public getter 方法
自动生成的 hashCode()，equals()，toString() 方法：
1. 从字节码可以看出，这三个方法的底层实现是 invokeDynamic 另一个方法
2. 调用的是 ObjectMethods.java 这个类中的 bootstrap 方法

里面的所有元素都是不可变的，这样对序列化来讲方便了很多，省略掉很多要考虑的因素，比如字段父子类继承与覆盖等等。序列化一个 Record，只需要关注这个 Record 本身，将其中的所有 field 读取出来即可，并且这些 field 都是 final 的。反序列化的时候，仅通过 Record 的规范构造函数（canonical constructor）即给全属性赋值的构造函数。
接下来我们通过一个简单的例子来看下 Record 与普通类的序列化区别。
我们在这里使用了 lombok 简化代码，假设有 UserClass：

@Data public class UserClass implements Serializable { private final int id; private final int age; }

还有与它有相同 field 的 UserRecord：

public record UserRecord(int id, int age) implements Serializable {}

编写使用 Java 原生序列化的代码：

public class SerializationTest { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { try (FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = newFileOutputStream("data"); ObjectOutputStream objectOutputStream = new ObjectOutputStream(fileOutputStream)) { //先写入 UserClass objectOutputStream.writeObject(new UserClass(1, -1)); //再写入 UserRecord objectOutputStream.writeObject(new UserRecord(2, -1)); } } }

执行，将两个对象写入了文件 data 中，然后，再编写代码从这个文件中读取出来并输出：

public class DeSerializationTest { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { try (FileInputStream fileInputStream = newFileInputStream("data"); ObjectInputStream objectInputStream = new ObjectInputStream(fileInputStream)) { //读取 UserClass System.out.println(objectInputStream.readObject()); //读取 UserRecord System.out.println(objectInputStream.readObject()); } } }

执行后，会看到输出：

UserClass(id=1, age=-1) UserRecord[id=1, age=-1]

构造器测试接下来，我们修改下源码，在 UserClass 和 UserRecord 中增加 id 和 age 都不能小于 1 的判断。并且，额外给 UserRecord 增加一个构造器，来验证反序列化使用的是 UserRecord 全属性构造器。

@Data public class UserClass implements Serializable { private final int id; private final int age; public UserClass(int id, int age) { if (id < 0 || age < 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("id and age should be larger than 0"); } this.id = id; this.age = age; } } public record UserRecord(int id, int age) implements Serializable { public UserRecord { if (id < 0 || age < 0) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("id and age should be larger than 0"); } }public UserRecord(int id) { this(id, 0); } }

再次执行代码 DeSerializationTest，我们会发现有报错，但是 UserClass 被反序列化出来了：

UserClass(id=1, age=-1) Exception in thread "main" java.io.InvalidObjectException: id and age should be larger than 0 at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readRecord(ObjectInputStream.java:2348) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readOrdinaryObject(ObjectInputStream.java:2236) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(ObjectInputStream.java:1742) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(ObjectInputStream.java:514) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(ObjectInputStream.java:472) at DeSerializationTest.main(DeSerializationTest.java:13) Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: id and age should be larger than 0 at UserRecord.(UserRecord.java:6) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readRecord(ObjectInputStream.java:2346) ... 5 more

兼容性测试我们再来看如果删除一个字段会怎么样：

@Data public class UserClass implements Serializable { private final int age; } public record UserRecord(int age) implements Serializable { }

执行代码，读取 UserClass 的时候就会报错，这也是符合预期的，因为这在普通类对象的反序列化说明中就说这种是不兼容修改。将 UserClass 的字段恢复，重新执行代码，发现成功：

UserClass(id=1, age=-1) UserRecord[age=-1]

也就是说，Record 是默认兼容缺失字段的反序列化的
我们将字段恢复，再来看多一个字段会怎么样：

@Data public class UserClass implements Serializable { private final int id; private final int sex; private final int age; } public record UserRecord(int id, int sex, int age) implements Serializable { }

执行代码，读取 UserClass 的时候就会报错，这也是符合预期的。将 UserClass 的字段恢复，重新执行代码，发现成功：

UserClass(id=1, age=-1) UserRecord[id=2, sex=0, age=-1]

也就是说，Record 是默认兼容字段变多的反序列化的
最后测试一下 Record 的 field 类型如果变了呢：

public record UserRecord(int id, Integer age) implements Serializable { }

执行代码发现失败，因为类型不匹配了(就算是包装类也不行)：

UserClass(id=1, age=-1) Exception in thread "main" java.io.InvalidClassException: UserRecord; incompatible types for field age at java.base/java.io.ObjectStreamClass.matchFields(ObjectStreamClass.java:2391) at java.base/java.io.ObjectStreamClass.getReflector(ObjectStreamClass.java:2286) at java.base/java.io.ObjectStreamClass.initNonProxy(ObjectStreamClass.java:788) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readNonProxyDesc(ObjectInputStream.java:2060) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readClassDesc(ObjectInputStream.java:1907) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readOrdinaryObject(ObjectInputStream.java:2209) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject0(ObjectInputStream.java:1742) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(ObjectInputStream.java:514) at java.base/java.io.ObjectInputStream.readObject(ObjectInputStream.java:472) at DeSerializationTest.main(DeSerializationTest.java:13)

一些主流的序列化框架的兼容由于 Record 限制了序列化与反序列化的唯一方式，所以其实兼容起来很简单，比起 Java Class 改个结构，加个特性导致的序列化框架更改来说还要简单。

这三个框架中实现对于 Record 的兼容思路都很类似，也比较简单，即：

实现一个针对 Record 的专用的 Serializer 以及Deserializer。
通过反射（Java Reflection）或者句柄（Java MethodHandle）验证当前版本的 Java 是否支持 Record，以及获取 Record 的规范构造函数（canonical constructor）以及各种 field 的 getter 进行反序列化和序列化。给大家两个工具类进行参考，分别是使用反射（Java Reflection）和句柄（Java MethodHandle）实现：
