## Save grid to array
Because gridstack doesn't track any kind of user-defined widget id there is no reason to make serialization to be part
of gridstack API. To serialize grid you can simply do something like this (let's say you store widget id inside `data-custom-id`
attribute):
```javascript
var res = _.map($('.grid-stack .grid-stack-item:visible'), function (el) {
el = $(el);
var node = el.data('_gridstack_node');
return {
id: el.attr('data-custom-id'),
x: node.x,
y: node.y,
width: node.width,
height: node.height
};
});
alert(JSON.stringify(res));
```
See example: [Serialization demo](http://troolee.github.io/gridstack.js/demo/serialization.html)
You can also use `onchange` event if you need to save only changed widgets right away they have been changed.
## Load grid from array
```javascript
var serialization = [
{x: 0, y: 0, width: 2, height: 2},
{x: 3, y: 1, width: 1, height: 2},
{x: 4, y: 1, width: 1, height: 1},
{x: 2, y: 3, width: 3, height: 1},
{x: 1, y: 4, width: 1, height: 1},
{x: 1, y: 3, width: 1, height: 1},
{x: 2, y: 4, width: 1, height: 1},
{x: 2, y: 5, width: 1, height: 1}
];
serialization = GridStackUI.Utils.sort(serialization);
var grid = $('.grid-stack').data('gridstack');
grid.removeAll();
_.each(serialization, function (node) {
grid.addWidget($('
