Save the chart diagram drawn on paper that can be displayed on editable paper

Question

Work on diagrams of joint work on paper. I can load a chart drawn on paper using the following code:

var svgDoc = paper.svg;
var serializer = new XMLSerializer();
var svgString = serializer.serializeToString(svgDoc);

Now I want to save this svg on a server that can be displayed on paper again so that I can edit it and save it again.

is it possible in the joints ???

thanks

Nope. Import SVG is not possible in JointJS. How you should do this is to export the chart in JSON and import it back:

var json = JSON.stringify(graph);
// send the json to the server, store to DB or whatever....

// ... later on...

// load back the json to the diagram:
graph.fromJSON(JSON.parse(json))
