Viewbuilder question: Is it possible to return (print) the entire tree of the view from a window tool?

Does anyone know if there is any way to somehow print or return in text format the entire tree of a window tool’s view?

This could be useful if we break the general tree into small functions to load them later in the general tree.

A simple example. Imagine you have a tool with a general tree like this:

vb:row {
   vb:button {
     id="1",
     text="My Button 1"
   },
   vb:button {
     id="2",
     text="My Button 2"
   }
}

How to print or get this to extract to a text file for example. That is, get the entire tree to be able to examine it, with all the properties of each object and all that.

Any ideas?

Yes, work!

This is the issue. For programmers it would be very useful to have a function that would return the entire tree of the view in the current state. I have not had time to investigate this in depth, but it would allow more control to keep the views as simple as possible within the complexity of it.
