serializeDOM(dom) → {string}

Serialize a DOM element to a string, removing the XML declaration and any namespace declarations. Namespaces are added to the elements because the codebase currently combines older ways of handling XML (using jQuery's parseHTML and document.createElement) with newer ways (using DOMParser). While we transition to using modern methods, this function can be used to clean up the serialized XML.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
dom Element The DOM element to serialize

Returns:
The serialized XML string
Type
string
