List<String>转换为byte[]:最常见的情况,通常需要指定字符集(如 UTF-8)。List<Integer>或List<Byte>转换为byte[]:处理数字列表。List<Object>(自定义对象列表)转换为byte[]:需要将对象序列化。List<byte[]>(字节数组列表)转换为byte[]:合并多个字节数组。
List<String> 转换为 byte[]
这是最典型的情况,你需要将列表中的所有字符串连接成一个大的字符串,然后将其转换为字节数组。关键在于必须指定字符集(Charset),否则在不同系统上可能会产生不同的结果。

方法:使用 String.join() 和 String.getBytes()
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
public class ListOfStringToBytes {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// 1. 准备一个 String 类型的 List
List<String> stringList = Arrays.asList("Hello", " ", "World", "!", "你好");
// 2. 定义一个分隔符(可选,也可以用空字符串 "" 连接)
String delimiter = ""; // 直接连接,不加任何东西
// String delimiter = ","; // 用逗号连接,会变成 "Hello, ,World,!,你好"
// 3. 使用 String.join() 将 List 合并为一个 String
// 注意:这里传入的是 List 的元素类型,而不是 List 本身
String combinedString = String.join(delimiter, stringList);
System.out.println("合并后的字符串: " + combinedString); // 输出: Hello World!你好
// 4. 使用指定的字符集将 String 转换为 byte[]
// 强烈推荐使用 StandardCharsets.UTF_8,避免平台默认编码带来的问题
byte[] byteArray = combinedString.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
// 5. 打印结果
System.out.println("转换后的 byte[] 长度: " + byteArray.length);
System.out.println("byte[] 内容: " + Arrays.toString(byteArray));
}
}
输出示例:
合并后的字符串: Hello World!你好
转换后的 byte[] 长度: 14
byte[] 内容: [72, 101, 108, 108, 111, 32, 87, 111, 114, 108, 100, 33, -28, -67, -96]
注意:中文字符 "你" 和 "好" 在 UTF-8 编码下占用多个字节,
byteArray的长度不是 12。
List<Integer> 或 List<Byte> 转换为 byte[]
当列表中存储的是数字时,转换逻辑是直接将每个数字转换为一个字节。
方法:使用 Java 8 的 Stream
这种方法简洁且高效。

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
public class ListOfIntegerToBytes {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// 1. 准备一个 Integer 类型的 List
List<Integer> integerList = Arrays.asList(72, 101, 108, 108, 111); // 对应 "Hello"
// 2. 使用 Stream 进行转换
// mapToInt(Integer::byteValue) 将每个 Integer 转换为 byte (primitive type)
// toArray() 将流收集为一个 byte[]
byte[] byteArray = integerList.stream()
.mapToInt(Integer::byteValue)
.toArray();
// 3. 打印结果
System.out.println("转换后的 byte[]: " + Arrays.toString(byteArray));
// List 本身就是 List<Byte>
List<Byte> byteList = Arrays.asList((byte) 72, (byte) 101, (byte) 108, (byte) 108, (byte) 111);
byte[] byteArrayFromByteList = byteList.stream()
.mapToByte(Byte::byteValue)
.toArray();
System.out.println("从 List<Byte> 转换的 byte[]: " + Arrays.toString(byteArrayFromByteList));
}
}
输出示例:
转换后的 byte[]: [72, 101, 108, 108, 111]
从 List<Byte> 转换的 byte[]: [72, 101, 108, 108, 111]
List<Object>(自定义对象列表)转换为 byte[]
如果你想将一个包含自定义 Java 对象的列表转换为 byte[],你需要将这些对象序列化(Serialize),序列化是将对象状态转换为字节流的过程,以便可以存储在文件或内存中,或通过网络传输。
方法:使用对象序列化
- 自定义对象必须实现
java.io.Serializable接口,这是一个标记接口,不需要实现任何方法。 - 使用
ObjectOutputStream将对象写入一个ByteArrayOutputStream。
import java.io.*;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
// 1. 自定义对象,必须实现 Serializable 接口
class User implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; // 推荐添加,用于版本控制
private String name;
private int age;
public User(String name, int age) {
this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "User{name='" + name + "', age=" + age + "}";
}
}
public class ListOfObjectToBytes {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// 2. 创建一个自定义对象列表
List<User> userList = new ArrayList<>();
userList.add(new User("Alice", 30));
userList.add(new User("Bob", 25));
try {
// 3. 创建一个 ByteArrayOutputStream 作为目标
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
// 4. 创建一个 ObjectOutputStream,并将其连接到 baos
ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(baos);
// 5. 将整个 List 写入输出流
// ObjectOutputStream 会自动处理列表的序列化
oos.writeObject(userList);
// 6. 从 baos 获取字节数组
byte[] byteArray = baos.toByteArray();
// 7. 关闭流
oos.close();
baos.close();
System.out.println("对象列表已成功序列化为 byte[]");
System.out.println("byte[] 长度: " + byteArray.length);
System.out.println("byte[] 内容: " + Arrays.toString(byteArray));
// --- 反序列化示例(验证) ---
ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray);
ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(bais);
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
List<User> deserializedList = (List<User>) ois.readObject();
System.out.println("\n反序列化后的列表:");
deserializedList.forEach(System.out::println);
} catch (IOException | ClassNotFoundException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
输出示例:
对象列表已成功序列化为 byte[]
byte[] 长度: 161
byte[] 内容: [123, 114, 0, 20, 115, 101, 114, 105, 97, 108, 86, 101, 114, 115, 105, 111, 110, 85, 73, 68, 120, 114, 0, 23, 106, 97, 118, 97, 46, 117, 116, 105, 108, 46, 65, 114, 114, 97, 121, 76, 105,
