# API

## `render`

▸ **render**(`node`: Node \| Node[], `options?`: [_Options_](#Options)): _string_

Renders a DOM node or an array of DOM nodes to a string.

Can be thought of as the equivalent of the `outerHTML` of the passed node(s).

#### Parameters:

| :-------- | :--------------------------------- | :------------ | :----------------------------- |
| `node`    | Node \| Node[]                     | -             | Node to be rendered.           |
| `options` | [_DomSerializerOptions_](#Options) | {}            | Changes serialization behavior |
