## What is this?
This package is a utility to get the plain-text value of a node.
## When should I use this?
You can use this package when you want to get the plain text value of a node.
The algorithm used by this package is like the DOMs `Node#textContent`
getter.
To use the DOMs `Node#innerText` algorithm instead, use
[`hast-util-to-text`](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast-util-to-text).
`innerText` is aware of how things are displayed, for example turning hard
breaks (`<br>`) into line endings.
## Install
This package is [ESM only][esm].
In Node.js (version 16+), install with [npm][]:
```sh
npm install hast-util-to-string
```
In Deno with [`esm.sh`][esm-sh]:
```js
import {toString} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-to-string@3'
```
In browsers with [`esm.sh`][esm-sh]:
```html
<script type="module">
import {toString} from 'https://esm.sh/hast-util-to-string@3?bundle'
</script>
```
## Use
```js
import {h} from 'hastscript'
import {toString} from 'hast-util-to-string'
toString(h('p', 'Alpha'))
//=> 'Alpha'
toString(h('div', [h('b', 'Bold'), ' and ', h('i', 'italic'), '.']))
//=> 'Bold and italic.'
```
## API
This package exports the identifier
`toString`.
There is no default export.
### `toString(node)`
Get the plain-text value of a node.
###### Parameters
* `node` (`Node`) — node to serialize
###### Returns
Serialized node (`string`).
## Syntax
HTML is parsed according to WHATWG HTML (the living standard), which is also
followed by all browsers.
## Syntax tree
The syntax tree used is [hast][].
## Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
## Compatibility
Projects maintained by the unified collective are compatible with maintained
versions of Node.js.
When we cut a new major release, we drop support for unmaintained versions of
Node.
This means we try to keep the current release line,
`hast-util-to-string@^3`,
compatible with Node.js 16.
## Security
As **rehype** works on HTML and improper use of HTML can open you up to a
[cross-site scripting (XSS)][xss] attack, use of rehype can also be unsafe.
Use [`rehype-sanitize`][rehype-sanitize] to make the tree safe.
