## Overview

This serializer outputs a 'blobable' array of data from one or more JSCAD geometries.
The array of data can either be used to create a Blob (`new Blob(blobable)`), or converted to a Node.js buffer.

The serialization of the following geometries are possible.
- serialization of 2D geometry (geom2) to continous SVG paths, where the color (initial fill) is 'black' if not provided
- serialization of 2D paths (path2) to individual SVG paths, where the color (initial stroke) is 'none' if not provided

In addition, geometries can have special attributes (id, class) which will be passed on to the SVG paths.
