The normalize() method converts the node into a structured associative array, representing all its properties and child nodes in a format suitable for further processing or serialization.

Description

public NodeJsonEncoder::normalize(): array

Parameters

None.

Return Value

Returns an associative array representation of the node, including its properties. Each child node is recursively normalized into the same structure.

Exceptions

None

Example

use Ucscode\UssElement\Node\ElementNode;
use Ucscode\UssElement\Serializer\NodeJsonEncoder;

$node = new ElementNode('div', ['class' => 'container']);
$node->setInnerHtml('Hello World');

$encoder = new NodeJsonEncoder($node);
$array = $encoder->normalize();
