mxGraph: loading XML file

Question

I'm new to mxGraph. Does anyone know how to save a file to my local storage from mxGraph editor (http://jgraph.github.io/mxgraph/javascript/examples/grapheditor/www/index.html)? BTW, are XML files created with draw.io compatible with mxGraph? Thanks.

Answer 1

Use Codec and Encoder.

var encoder = new mxCodec();
var node = encoder.encode(graph.getModel()); 

variable node will have XML of your graph.

Use mxGraph utility to instantly show XML in popup.

mxUtils.popup(mxUtils.getPrettyXml(node), true);
