# DOM Serialization

Serialize the DOM

Q. Why don't you use innerHTML?

: when you use innerHTML you lose tree structure if there are adjacent text nodes.

```txt

            span

          /       \

  text node       text node

```

dom-serialization serialize the DOM with keeping tree structure. So you can keep tree structure when you deserialize from serialized string.

## Getting started

```sh

npm install dom-serialization

```

```js

import { serialize, deserialize } from 'dom-serialization';

const dom = document.createElement('div');

dom.appendChild(document.createTextNode('hello'));

dom.appendChild(document.createTextNode('world'));

const code = serialize(dom);

console.log(deserialize(code));

```
