## API
This package exports the identifier [`toString`][api-to-string].
There is no default export.
### `toString(value)`
Get the text content of a node or list of nodes.
Prefers the nodes plain-text fields, otherwise serializes its children, and
if the given value is an array, serialize the nodes in it.
###### Parameters
* `node` ([`Array<Node>`][node] or `Node`)
— node or list of nodes to serialize
###### Returns
Result (`string`).
## Types
This package is fully typed with [TypeScript][].
It exports no additional types.
## 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, `nlcst-to-string@^4`,
compatible with Node.js 16.
