How to serialize SqlAlchemy result to JSON?

Question

Django has some good automatic serialization of ORM models returned from DB to JSON format.

How to serialize SQLAlchemy query result to JSON format?

I tried

Answer 1

Even though it's a old post, Maybe I didn't answer the question above, but I want to talk about my serialization, at least it works for me.

I use FastAPI,SqlAlchemy and MySQL, but I don't use orm model;

# from sqlalchemy import create_engine
# from sqlalchemy.orm import sessionmaker
# engine = create_engine(config.SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URL, pool_pre_ping=True)
# SessionLocal = sessionmaker(autocommit=False, autoflush=False, bind=engine)

Serialization code

import decimal
import datetime


def alchemy_encoder(obj):
    """JSON encoder function for SQLAlchemy special classes."""
    if isinstance(obj, datetime.date):
        return obj.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
    elif isinstance(obj, decimal.Decimal):
        return float(obj)

import json
from sqlalchemy import text

# db is SessionLocal() object 

app_sql = 'SELECT * FROM app_info ORDER BY app_id LIMIT :page,:page_size'

# The next two are the parameters passed in
page = 1
page_size = 10

# execute sql and return a  object
app_list = db.execute(text(app_sql), {'page': page, 'page_size': page_size})

# serialize
res = json.loads(json.dumps([dict(r) for r in app_list], default=alchemy_encoder))

If it doesn't work, please ignore my answer. I refer to it here
