Example
Serialize the document object to a JSON representation in a document.
// How do I convert a document to JSON so its structure can be reused in a document?
// Export a document as JSON and then reconstruct its elements to insert shapes or other objects into a new context.
let doc = Api.GetDocument();
let json = doc.ToJSON(true, true, true, true, true, true);
let docFromJSON = Api.FromJSON(json);
let paragraph = docFromJSON[0];
let gs1 = Api.CreateGradientStop(Api.RGB(255, 213, 191), 0);
let gs2 = Api.CreateGradientStop(Api.RGB(255, 111, 61), 100000);
let fill = Api.CreateLinearGradientFill([gs1, gs2], 5400000);
let stroke = Api.CreateStroke(0, Api.CreateNoFill());
let drawing1 = Api.CreateShape("rect", 3212465, 963295, fill, stroke);
paragraph.AddDrawing(drawing1);
let drawing2 = Api.CreateShape("wave", 3212465, 963295, fill, stroke);
paragraph.AddDrawing(drawing2);
let drawings = docFromJSON[0].GetAllShapes();
paragraph = doc.GetElement(0);
paragraph.AddDrawing(drawings[0]);
paragraph.AddLineBreak();
paragraph.AddText("This is the first shape from the JSON document.");
