Recommended approach for saving to/opening from stream

[Jack]

I need to build a drawing tool which can save to a stream (possibly JSON) and load form the same stream either to display or make changes.

This scenario does not seem to be supported by the drawing API but since the Surface has a draw method, I am assuming it has an internal representation of drawing objects which can be saved and reloaded.

What would be the best approach to achieve this.

Would you have a basic dojo/fiddle available?

Hi,

We don't currently have built-in means to serialize a scene graph. It's easy to see how this feature can be very useful.

Each drawing element has a "nodeType" field and an "options" configuration object.
Serializing a shape tree with these fields should be sufficient.

Please, file a feature request on our UserVoice portal if you have a minute.
This will help us gauge the overall interest and prioritize.

I would have loved to but I have been out of votes on UserVoice for several years. UserVoice does not reward suggestions, it limits suggestions/votes to 10, which is very low.

Hi,

That's interesting, I didn't realize you can run out of votes permanently.

Please, feel free to file it as a feature suggestion on our public issue tracker. Thanks!
