本篇主要讲解Alamofire中如何把服务器返回的数据序列化
前言
和前边的文章不同， 在这一篇中，我想从程序的设计层次上解读ResponseSerialization这个文件。更直观的去探讨该功能是如何一步一步实现的。当然，有一个不好的地方，跟数学问题一样，我们事先知道了结果，因此这是一个已知结果推到过程的问题。
在之前Alamofire的源码解读文章中，我们已经知道了：对于响应感兴趣的Request类型是DataRequest和DownloadRequest。我们下边所有的设计都是针对这两个类型的请求的。
不序列化的设计
我们先从最简单的事情着手。如果我发起了一个请求，我肯定希望知道请求的结果，那么就会有下边这样的伪代码：
dataRequest.request().response{ ResponseObj in }
downloadRequest.request().response{ ResponseObj in }
上边的伪代码中的response函数是请求的回调函数，ResponseObj是对服务器返回的数据的一个抽象。这就完成了最基本的需求。
默认情况下我们可能希望回调函数会在主线程调用，但是对于某些特定的功能，还是应该增加对多线程的支持，因此我们把上边的代码做一下扩展：
dataRequest.request().response(queue 回调函数)
downloadRequest.request().response(queue 回调函数)
给response函数增加一个参数，这个参数用来决定回调函数会在哪个线程被调用。这里的回调函数会给我们一个需要的结果，在Alamofire中，DataRequest对应的结果是DefaultDataResponse，DownloadRequest对应的结果是DefaultDownloadResponse。
因此，我们把上边的伪代码还原成Alamfire中的函数就是：
@discardableResult
public func response(queue: DispatchQueue? = nil, completionHandler: @escaping (DefaultDataResponse) -> Void) -> Self {
delegate.queue.addOperation {
(queue ?? DispatchQueue.main).async {
var dataResponse = DefaultDataResponse(
request: self.request,
response: self.response,
data: self.delegate.data,
error: self.delegate.error,
timeline: self.timeline
)
dataResponse.add(self.delegate.metrics)
completionHandler(dataResponse)
}
}
return self
}
@discardableResult
public func response(
queue: DispatchQueue? = nil,
completionHandler: @escaping (DefaultDownloadResponse) -> Void)
-> Self
{
delegate.queue.addOperation {
(queue ?? DispatchQueue.main).async {
var downloadResponse = DefaultDownloadResponse(
request: self.request,
response: self.response,
temporaryURL: self.downloadDelegate.temporaryURL,
destinationURL: self.downloadDelegate.destinationURL,
resumeData: self.downloadDelegate.resumeData,
error: self.downloadDelegate.error,
timeline: self.timeline
)
downloadResponse.add(self.delegate.metrics)
completionHandler(downloadResponse)
}
}
return self
}
这两个函数都是把先创建Response对象，然后把这些操作放入到delegate的队列中，当请求完成后再执行这些operation。
需要序列化
那么问题就来了，在未序列化的基础上应该如何添加序列化功能？在Alamofire源码解读系列(九)之响应封装(Response)这一篇文章中我们知道针对序列化的Response有两个封装：DataResponse和DownloadResponse。他们都是struct，是纯正的存储设计属性。和DefaultDataResponse，DefaultDownloadResponse最大的不同，其内部多了一个Result的封装。不明白Result的朋友可以去看看这篇文章Alamofire源码解读系列(五)之结果封装(Result).
因此只要在上边的response方法中添加一个参数就行，这个参数的任务就是完成数据的序列化。此时我们说的系列化就是指可以把响应数据生成Result的功能。因为DataResponse和DownloadResponse的初始化离不开这个参数。
伪代码如下：
dataRequest.request().response(queue 序列化者 回调函数)
downloadRequest.request().response(queue 序列化者 回调函数)
我们之所以把data和download的请求每次都分开来设计，原因是因为这两个不同的请求得到的响应不一样。download可以从一个URL中获取数据，而data不行。
那么重点来了，序列化者的任务是把数据转换成Result。因此我们可以把这个序列化者设计成一个类或者结构体，里边提供一个转换的方法就行了。这也是最正常不过的思想。但是在swift中我们应该转变思维。swift跟oc不一样。
我们不应该把系列化者用一个固定的对象封死。这个时候就是协议大显身手的时刻了。既然序列化者需要一个函数，那么我们就设计一个包含该函数的协议。这一切的思想应该是从高层到底层的过度的。因此协议就是下边的代码：
/// The type in which all data response serializers must conform to in order to serialize a response.
public protocol DataResponseSerializerProtocol {
/// The type of serialized object to be created by this `DataResponseSerializerType`.
associatedtype SerializedObject
/// A closure used by response handlers that takes a request, response, data and error and returns a result.
var serializeResponse: (URLRequest?, HTTPURLResponse?, Data?, Error?) -> Result<SerializedObject> { get }
}
/// The type in which all download response serializers must conform to in order to serialize a response.
public protocol DownloadResponseSerializerProtocol {
/// The type of serialized object to be created by this `DownloadResponseSerializerType`.
associatedtype SerializedObject
/// A closure used by response handlers that takes a request, response, url and error and returns a result.
var serializeResponse: (URLRequest?, HTTPURLResponse?, URL?, Error?) -> Result<SerializedObject> { get }
}
SerializedObject定义了要序列化后的对象类型，这么写的原因也是因为后边序列成Data，JOSN，String等等的需求。在回到序列者的问题上，只要实现了这些协议就行，序列者应该是一个存储属性，用序列化函数作为参数来初始化：
/// A generic `DataResponseSerializerType` used to serialize a request, response, and data into a serialized object.
public struct DataResponseSerializer<Value>: DataResponseSerializerProtocol {
/// The type of serialized object to be created by this `DataResponseSerializer`.
public typealias SerializedObject = Value
/// A closure used by response handlers that takes a request, response, data and error and returns a result.
public var serializeResponse: (URLRequest?, HTTPURLResponse?, Data?, Error?) -> Result<Value>
/// Initializes the `ResponseSerializer` instance with the given serialize response closure.
///
/// - parameter serializeResponse: The closure used to serialize the response.
///
/// - returns: The new generic response serializer instance.
public init(serializeResponse: @escaping (URLRequest?, HTTPURLResponse?, Data?, Error?) -> Result<Value>) {
self.serializeResponse = serializeResponse
}
}
/// A generic `DownloadResponseSerializerType` used to serialize a request, response, and data into a serialized object.
public struct DownloadResponseSerializer<Value>: DownloadResponseSerializerProtocol {
/// The type of serialized object to be created by this `DownloadResponseSerializer`.
public typealias SerializedObject = Value
/// A closure used by response handlers that takes a request, response, url and error and returns a result.
public var serializeResponse: (URLRequest?, HTTPURLResponse?, URL?, Error?) -> Result<Value>
/// Initializes the `ResponseSerializer` instance with the given serialize response closure.
///
/// - parameter serializeResponse: The closure used to serialize the response.
///
/// - returns: The new generic response serializer instance.
public init(serializeResponse: @escaping (URLRequest?, HTTPURLResponse?, URL?, Error?) -> Result<Value>) {
self.serializeResponse = serializeResponse
}
}
@discardableResult
public func response<T: DataResponseSerializerProtocol>(
queue: DispatchQueue? = nil,
responseSerializer: T,
completionHandler: @escaping (DataResponse<T.SerializedObject>) -> Void)
-> Self
{
delegate.queue.addOperation {
/// 这里就调用了responseSerializer保存的系列化函数，函数调用后会得到result
let result = responseSerializer.serializeResponse(
self.request,
self.response,
self.delegate.data,
self.delegate.error
)
/// 这里一定要记得，DataResponse是一个结构体，是专门为了纯存储数据的，这里是调用了结构体的初始化方法创建了一个新的DataResponse实例
var dataResponse = DataResponse<T.SerializedObject>(
request: self.request,
response: self.response,
data: self.delegate.data,
result: result,
timeline: self.timeline
)
dataResponse.add(self.delegate.metrics)
(queue ?? DispatchQueue.main).async { completionHandler(dataResponse) }
}
return self
}
@discardableResult
public func response<T: DownloadResponseSerializerProtocol>(
queue: DispatchQueue? = nil,
responseSerializer: T,
completionHandler: @escaping (DownloadResponse<T.SerializedObject>) -> Void)
-> Self
{
delegate.queue.addOperation {
let result = responseSerializer.serializeResponse(
self.request,
self.response,
self.downloadDelegate.fileURL,
self.downloadDelegate.error
)
var downloadResponse = DownloadResponse<T.SerializedObject>(
request: self.request,
response: self.response,
temporaryURL: self.downloadDelegate.temporaryURL,
destinationURL: self.downloadDelegate.destinationURL,
resumeData: self.downloadDelegate.resumeData,
result: result,
timeline: self.timeline
)
downloadResponse.add(self.delegate.metrics)
(queue ?? DispatchQueue.main).async { completionHandler(downloadResponse) }
}
return self
}
扩展
其实，代码到了这里，基本的功能已经完成了80%。如果要把data序列成string，只需要创建一个data序列者就好了，但是这样的设计用起来很麻烦，因为还要书写序列成Result的函数，这些函数往往都是一样的，要么把这些函数提前定义出来，要么把这些函数封装起来。
按照Alamofire的设计，是把这些函数封装起来的。你可以这么使用：
dataRequest.request().responseString(queue 回调函数)
dataRequest.request().responseJSON(queue 回调函数)
通过特性的函数来获取序列化后的response。
responseData
responseData是把数据序列化为Data类型。也就是Result<Data>。
生成DataRequest的序列者：
/// Creates a response serializer that returns the associated data as-is.
///
/// - returns: A data response serializer.
public static func dataResponseSerializer() -> DataResponseSerializer<Data> {
/// 可以看出这么写也是可以的，这个方法要做分解才能理解，不然很容易让人迷惑，DataResponseSerializer的初始化需要一个ResponseSerializer函数，那么这个函数是什么呢？就是大括号内部的这个闭包，我们通过下边的代码就得到了一个DataResponseSerializer，这个DataResponseSerializer内部保存着一个函数，函数的作用就是根据参数，最终解析出Result<Data>
// return DataResponseSerializer { (_, response, data, error) -> Result<Data> in
// return Request.serializeResponseData(response: response, data: data, error: error)
// }
return DataResponseSerializer { _, response, data, error in
return Request.serializeResponseData(response: response, data: data, error: error)
}
}
实现DataRequest的responseData函数：
/// Adds a handler to be called once the request has finished.
///
/// - parameter completionHandler: The code to be executed once the request has finished.
///
/// - returns: The request.
/// 这个方法就很好裂解了 ，设置一个回调，当请求完成调用，
@discardableResult
public func responseData(
queue: DispatchQueue? = nil,
completionHandler: @escaping (DataResponse<Data>) -> Void)
-> Self
{
return response(
queue: queue,
responseSerializer: DataRequest.dataResponseSerializer(),
completionHandler: completionHandler
)
}
生成DownloadRequest的序列者：
/// Creates a response serializer that returns the associated data as-is.
///
/// - returns: A data response serializer.
public static func dataResponseSerializer() -> DownloadResponseSerializer<Data> {
return DownloadResponseSerializer { _, response, fileURL, error in
guard error == nil else { return .failure(error!) }
guard let fileURL = fileURL else {
return .failure(AFError.responseSerializationFailed(reason: .inputFileNil))
}
do {
let data = try Data(contentsOf: fileURL)
return Request.serializeResponseData(response: response, data: data, error: error)
} catch {
return .failure(AFError.responseSerializationFailed(reason: .inputFileReadFailed(at: fileURL)))
}
}
}
实现DataRequest的responseData函数：
/// Adds a handler to be called once the request has finished.
///
/// - parameter completionHandler: The code to be executed once the request has finished.
///
/// - returns: The request.
@discardableResult
public func responseData(
queue: DispatchQueue? = nil,
completionHandler: @escaping (DownloadResponse<Data>) -> Void)
-> Self
{
return response(
queue: queue,
responseSerializer: DownloadRequest.dataResponseSerializer(),
completionHandler: completionHandler
)
}
上边的代码中值得注意的是：初始化序列者需要的是一个函数，只要把这个函数看做是一个参数，就能明白为什么会这么写。那么我们更应该关心的是下边的函数，它解释了如何根据response: HTTPURLResponse?, data: Data?, error: Error?获得Result<Data>。也是序列化Data的核心方法：
/// Returns a result data type that contains the response data as-is.
///
/// - parameter response: The response from the server.
/// - parameter data: The data returned from the server.
/// - parameter error: The error already encountered if it exists.
///
/// - returns: The result data type.
public static func serializeResponseData(response: HTTPURLResponse?, data: Data?, error: Error?) -> Result<Data> {
guard error == nil else { return .failure(error!) }
if let response = response, emptyDataStatusCodes.contains(response.statusCode) { return .success(Data()) }
guard let validData = data else {
return .failure(AFError.responseSerializationFailed(reason: .inputDataNil))
}
return .success(validData)
}
responseString
responseString跟responseData的套路一模一样，就不把全部的代码弄过来了，以免浪费篇幅，我们应该关心如何根据encoding: String.Encoding?,response: HTTPURLResponse?,data: Data?,error: Error?获得Result<String>。
/// Returns a result string type initialized from the response data with the specified string encoding.
///
/// - parameter encoding: The string encoding. If `nil`, the string encoding will be determined from the server
/// response, falling back to the default HTTP default character set, ISO-8859-1.
/// - parameter response: The response from the server.
/// - parameter data: The data returned from the server.
/// - parameter error: The error already encountered if it exists.
///
/// - returns: The result data type.
public static func serializeResponseString(
encoding: String.Encoding?,
response: HTTPURLResponse?,
data: Data?,
error: Error?)
-> Result<String>
{
guard error == nil else { return .failure(error!) }
if let response = response, emptyDataStatusCodes.contains(response.statusCode) { return .success("") }
guard let validData = data else {
return .failure(AFError.responseSerializationFailed(reason: .inputDataNil))
}
var convertedEncoding = encoding
if let encodingName = response?.textEncodingName as CFString!, convertedEncoding == nil {
convertedEncoding = String.Encoding(rawValue: CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding(
CFStringConvertIANACharSetNameToEncoding(encodingName))
)
}
let actualEncoding = convertedEncoding ?? String.Encoding.isoLatin1
if let string = String(data: validData, encoding: actualEncoding) {
return .success(string)
} else {
return .failure(AFError.responseSerializationFailed(reason: .stringSerializationFailed(encoding: actualEncoding)))
}
}
上边的代码中涉及了字符串编码的知识，有兴趣的朋友可以自己查找资料。
responseJSON
responseJSON跟responseData的套路一模一样，就不把全部的代码弄过来了，以免浪费篇幅，我们应该关心如何根据options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions,response: HTTPURLResponse?,data: Data?,error: Error?获得Result<Any>。
/// Returns a JSON object contained in a result type constructed from the response data using `JSONSerialization`
/// with the specified reading options.
///
/// - parameter options: The JSON serialization reading options. Defaults to `.allowFragments`.
/// - parameter response: The response from the server.
/// - parameter data: The data returned from the server.
/// - parameter error: The error already encountered if it exists.
///
/// - returns: The result data type.
public static func serializeResponseJSON(
options: JSONSerialization.ReadingOptions,
response: HTTPURLResponse?,
data: Data?,
error: Error?)
-> Result<Any>
{
guard error == nil else { return .failure(error!) }
if let response = response, emptyDataStatusCodes.contains(response.statusCode) { return .success(NSNull()) }
guard let validData = data, validData.count > 0 else {
return .failure(AFError.responseSerializationFailed(reason: .inputDataNilOrZeroLength))
}
do {
let json = try JSONSerialization.jsonObject(with: validData, options: options)
return .success(json)
} catch {
return .failure(AFError.responseSerializationFailed(reason: .jsonSerializationFailed(error: error)))
}
}
这里之所以使用Any，是因为JSON可能是字典，也可能是数组。
responsePropertyList
responsePropertyList跟responseData的套路一模一样，就不把全部的代码弄过来了，以免浪费篇幅，我们应该关心如何根据options: PropertyListSerialization.ReadOptions,response: HTTPURLResponse?,data: Data?,error: Error?获得Result<Any>。
/// Returns a plist object contained in a result type constructed from the response data using
/// `PropertyListSerialization` with the specified reading options.
///
/// - parameter options: The property list reading options. Defaults to `[]`.
/// - parameter response: The response from the server.
/// - parameter data: The data returned from the server.
/// - parameter error: The error already encountered if it exists.
///
/// - returns: The result data type.
public static func serializeResponsePropertyList(
options: PropertyListSerialization.ReadOptions,
response: HTTPURLResponse?,
data: Data?,
error: Error?)
-> Result<Any>
{
guard error == nil else { return .failure(error!) }
if let response = response, emptyDataStatusCodes.contains(response.statusCode) { return .success(NSNull()) }
guard let validData = data, validData.count > 0 else {
return .failure(AFError.responseSerializationFailed(reason: .inputDataNilOrZeroLength))
}
do {
let plist = try PropertyListSerialization.propertyList(from: validData, options: options, format: nil)
return .success(plist)
} catch {
return .failure(AFError.responseSerializationFailed(reason: .propertyListSerializationFailed(error: error)))
}
}
emptyDataStatusCodes
如果HTTP response code 是204或者205，就表示Data为nil。
/// A set of HTTP response status code that do not contain response data.
private let emptyDataStatusCodes: Set<Int> = [204, 205]
为Request添加Timeline属性
extension Request {
var timeline: Timeline {
let requestCompletedTime = self.endTime ?? CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()
let initialResponseTime = self.delegate.initialResponseTime ?? requestCompletedTime
return Timeline(
requestStartTime: self.startTime ?? CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent(),
initialResponseTime: initialResponseTime,
requestCompletedTime: requestCompletedTime,
serializationCompletedTime: CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()
)
}
}
上边的代码为Request添加了Timeline属性，这是一个计算属性，因此在不同的请求阶段会获得不同的取值。
