javascript - How to convert selected HTML to Json?

Question

I want to save part of my html code into json as a file then recap back the html codes for editing. Any idea how can i do it?

<div id='TextBoxesGroup'>
    <div id="TextBoxDiv1">
        <label class="draggable ui-widget-content clickableLabel" id="label1" >New Text</label>
        <input id='textbox1' class="clickedit" type="text" class="draggable" class="ui-widget-content" placeholder="Text Here"/>
        <div class="clearfix"></div>
    </div>
</div>

I am new to json, please simplified if possible.I had look at other questions but their don't seem to address my question

Answer 1

What you want to do is called serializing.

//  This gives you an HTMLElement object
var element = document.getElementById('TextBoxesGroup');
//  This gives you a string representing that element and its content
var html = element.outerHTML;       
//  This gives you a JSON object that you can send with jQuery.ajax's `data`
// option, you can rename the property to whatever you want.
var data = { html: html }; 

//  This gives you a string in JSON syntax of the object above that you can 
// send with XMLHttpRequest.
var json = JSON.stringify(data);
