Description

...or grab it from NPM and manually include it as a script tag...

npm install dom-to-json --save

Demos

Coming soon...

Usage

Using dom-to-json is super simple: use the .toJSON() method to create a JSON representation of the DOM tree:

import { toJSON  } from 'dom-to-json'

let someDOMElement = document.getElementById('sampleId');
let jsonOutput = toJSON(someDOMElement);

And then rebuild the DOM Node from that JSON using .toDOM():

import { toDOM } from 'dom-to-json'

let DOMDocumentFragment = toDOM(jsonOutput);
someDOMElement.parentNode.replaceChild(someDOMElement, DOMDocumentFragment);

Tests

You can run test by using following commands

npm run test
