Is it possible to get D3js charts into xml?

Question

I have created a simple Area chart from D3js Example. Now i want to export complete code of area chart into xml so that any end user can manually change xml data and then save it and use it. Is there a way to achieve in it.

If you are generating SVG via D3.js, it is naturally XML - which is handy for you.

You could grab the SVG from the HTML DOM and use the FileSaver API to generate a file to save.

Here is a FileSaver polyfil which also has a nice introduction.

Alternatively you could send the SVG (from the DOM) via Ajax and do it server-side.

UPDATE:

Here is an example of grabbing the svg element on the client side, however it generates the download vis the server-side. Mixed with FileSaver you could do the lot client side. http://d3export.housegordon.org/

No worries @Mayur I've added an example of the client-side, but I've not come across (yet) a complete client side example. – Alex KeySmith Sep 18 '14 at 10:10

See this question I don't think you can export the chart but you can try exporting the chart data.
