I was specifically thinking of just serializing DOM objects to strings,
anything beyond that requires some kind of mapping.
Here's a simple implementation using the XMLSerialize object:
$.fn.serializeXML = function () {
var out = '';
if (typeof XMLSerializer == 'function') {
var xs = new XMLSerializer();
this.each(function() {
out += xs.serializeToString(this);
});
} else {
// TODO: Find another serializer, or manually serialize
}
return out;
};
This will need to be fleshed out for other browsers.
Does anyone know of native serialization methods in IE, Safari, Opera?
or do any of these support XMLSerialize()?
