+
+// Simple page with props
+function HomePage() {
+  return (
+    <Page
+      title="Welcome to Our App"

+
+### Schema Architecture
+
+#### ViewModelSchema - Base UI Schema
+```tsx
+import { ViewModelSchema } from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+// Base schema for all UI components - provides consistent styling and accessibility
+interface ViewModelSchema {
+  // Styling Properties
+  className?: string;              // CSS class name for custom styling
+  style?: string;                  // Inline styles as JSON string
+  id?: string;                     // Unique HTML element ID
+  hidden?: boolean;                // Component visibility control
+  
+  // Accessibility Properties
+  'aria-label'?: string;           // Accessibility label for screen readers
+  'aria-describedby'?: string;     // IDs of elements describing this component
+  'aria-labelledby'?: string;      // IDs of elements labeling this component
+  role?: string;                   // ARIA role (button, navigation, main, etc.)
+  
+  // Testing Properties
+  'data-testid'?: string;          // Test automation identifier
+}
+
+// Example: Custom component extending ViewModelSchema
+class CustomCard extends ViewModelSchema {
+  @Field()
+  title?: string;
+  
+  @Field()
+  content?: string;
+  
+  // Inherits all styling and accessibility properties from ViewModelSchema
+}
+```
+
+#### PrintConfigSchema - Print Configuration
+```tsx
+import { PrintConfigSchema } from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+interface PrintConfigSchema {
+  // Theme & Appearance
+  theme?: 'light' | 'dark';              // Print theme mode
+  palette?: string;                      // Color palette (default, autumn, cosmic, etc.)
+  optimizeForMonochrome?: boolean;       // Black & white print optimization
+  
+  // Layout Control
+  hideScaffolding?: boolean;             // Hide navigation, headers, footers
+  hideInteractiveElements?: boolean;     // Hide buttons, forms, interactive content
+

+const reportPrintConfig: PrintConfigSchema = {
+  theme: 'light',
+  palette: 'default',
+  hideScaffolding: true,
+  hideInteractiveElements: true,
+  optimizeForMonochrome: true,
+  printTitle: 'Quarterly Sales Report - Q4 2024',
+  printHeader: 'CONFIDENTIAL - Internal Use Only',
+  printFooter: 'Page [page] of [total] • Generated on [date] • QwickApps.com',
+  showPrintDate: true
+};
+
+const invoicePrintConfig: PrintConfigSchema = {
+  theme: 'light',
+  hideScaffolding: true,
+  hideInteractiveElements: true,
+  printTitle: 'Invoice #INV-2024-001',

+};
+```
+
+#### PageTemplateSchema - Complete Page Model

+import { usePageContext, usePage } from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+function PageAwareComponent() {
+  const { route, isPrintMode, printConfig } = usePageContext();
+  const { setTitle, setDescription } = usePage();
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    // Dynamic page metadata updates
+    setTitle(`Dynamic Title - ${Date.now()}`);
+    setDescription('Dynamically updated description');
+  }, []);
+
+  // Render differently based on print mode
+  if (isPrintMode) {
+    return (
+      <div className="print-optimized">
+        <h2>Print-Optimized View</h2>
+        <p>Current route: {route}</p>
+        <p>Print theme: {printConfig.theme}</p>
+        <p>Print date shown: {printConfig.showPrintDate ? 'Yes' : 'No'}</p>

+    );
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <div className="interactive-view">
+      <h2>Interactive View</h2>
+      <p>Route: {route}</p>
+      <button onClick={() => alert('Interactive element')}>
+        Click me
+      </button>
+      {/* Full interactive content */}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Page Variants and Layout Options
+
+#### Advanced Page Styling
+```tsx
+// Different page layout variants for different use cases
+function LayoutExamples() {
+  return (
+    <>
+      {/* Centered layout for landing pages */}
+      <Page 
+        variant="centered"

+  );
+}
+```
+
+## Advanced Print System
+
+The QwickApps React Framework includes a sophisticated print system that enables professional print layouts with intelligent detection, dynamic configuration, and comprehensive theming support.
+
+### Print Mode Detection
+
+The print system automatically detects print mode through multiple channels:
+
+#### URL Parameter Detection
+```tsx
+// Navigate to URL with print parameter to automatically enter print mode
+https://yourapp.com/document?print=true
+
+// Print mode activates immediately with configured settings
+```
+
+#### Browser Print Event Detection
+```tsx
+// Automatic detection of Ctrl+P (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+P (Mac)
+// Also detects File > Print menu usage
+// Print mode applies before print dialog opens
+```
+
+#### Manual Print Mode Control
+```tsx
+import { usePrintMode } from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+function DocumentPage() {
+  const { 
+    isPrintMode, 
+    printConfig, 
+    enterPrintMode, 
+    exitPrintMode, 
+    togglePrintMode,
+    triggerPrint 
+  } = usePrintMode();
+
+  const handlePrint = () => {
+    // Enter print mode with custom configuration
+    triggerPrint({
+      theme: 'light',
+      hideScaffolding: true,
+      showPrintDate: true,
+      printTitle: 'Custom Document Title'
+    });
+    
+    // Trigger browser print dialog
+    setTimeout(() => window.print(), 100);
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {isPrintMode ? (
+        <div className="print-mode-banner">
+          Print Mode Active - {printConfig.theme} theme
+        </div>
+      ) : (
+        <button onClick={handlePrint}>Print Document</button>
+      )}
+      
+      <main>
+        <h1>Document Content</h1>
+        <p>Your document content here...</p>
+      </main>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Print Configuration System
+
+#### Complete Print Configuration Options
+```tsx
+import { PrintConfigSchema } from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+const advancedPrintConfig: PrintConfigSchema = {
+  // Theme Control
+  theme: 'light' | 'dark',                    // Print theme mode
+  palette: 'default' | 'autumn' | 'cosmic',   // Color palette
+  optimizeForMonochrome: true,                 // B&W optimization
+  
+  // Layout Control
+  hideScaffolding: true,                       // Hide navigation/headers
+  hideInteractiveElements: true,               // Hide buttons/forms
+  pageMargins: '12mm',                         // 0mm, 6mm, 12mm, 20mm, 25mm
+  
+  // Custom Headers & Footers
+  printTitle: 'Quarterly Report - Q4 2024',   // Custom document title
+  printHeader: '<div>CONFIDENTIAL</div>',     // Custom header content
+  printFooter: 'Page [page] of [total]',      // Custom footer content
+  printHeaderFirstPage: '<div>Cover Page</div>', // Different first page header
+  printFooterFirstPage: 'Generated: [date]',     // Different first page footer
+  
+  // Background & Styling
+  printBackground: 'linear-gradient(135deg, #f5f7fa 0%, #c3cfe2 100%)',
+  printBackgroundFirstPage: 'url(/logo-watermark.png) center, #ffffff',
+  
+  // Header/Footer Sizing
+  printHeaderHeight: '60px',                   // CSS units (px, mm, etc.)
+  printFooterHeight: '40px',                   // CSS units (px, mm, etc.)
+  
+  // Metadata
+  showPrintDate: true                          // Include print timestamp
+};
+```
+
+#### Page Component with Print Configuration
+```tsx
+import { Page, PrintConfigSchema } from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+// Using Page component with print configuration
+function ReportPage() {
+  const printConfig: Partial<PrintConfigSchema> = {
+    theme: 'light',
+    hideScaffolding: true,
+    hideInteractiveElements: true,
+    optimizeForMonochrome: true,
+    printTitle: 'Annual Sales Report',
+    printHeader: 'CONFIDENTIAL - Internal Use Only',
+    printFooter: 'Company © 2024 • Generated on [date]',
+    pageMargins: '20mm',
+    showPrintDate: true
+  };
+
+  return (
+    <Page
+      title="Annual Sales Report"
+      description="Comprehensive sales analysis for fiscal year"
+      printConfig={printConfig}
+    >
+      <h1>Annual Sales Report</h1>
+      <div className="report-content">
+        {/* Report content */}
+      </div>
+    </Page>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Page Margins and Layout Options
+
+#### Edge-to-Edge Printing (0mm margins)
+```tsx
+const borderlessPrintConfig = {
+  pageMargins: '0mm',        // Complete edge-to-edge printing
+  printBackground: '#f0f0f0' // Background covers entire page
+};
+```
+
+#### Standard Margin Options
+```tsx
+const marginOptions = {
+  compact: { pageMargins: '6mm' },      // Minimal margins
+  standard: { pageMargins: '12mm' },     // Standard business documents
+  large: { pageMargins: '20mm' },        // Formal documents
+  formal: { pageMargins: '25mm' }        // Academic/legal documents
+};
+```
+
+### Dynamic CSS Variable System
+
+The print system uses CSS variables for dynamic header/footer positioning:
+
+```css
+/* Automatically generated during print mode */
+@media print {
+  .page-print-mode {
+    --print-header-height: 60px;    /* Measured or configured */
+    --print-footer-height: 40px;    /* Measured or configured */
+    --print-background: transparent; /* Configured background */
+  }
+}
+
+/* Use in your custom print styles */
+.custom-print-content {
+  margin-top: var(--print-header-height);
+  margin-bottom: var(--print-footer-height);
+  background: var(--print-background);
+}
+```
+
+### Advanced Print Headers and Footers
+
+#### ReactNode Headers/Footers
+```tsx
+import { SafeSpan } from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+const customPrintConfig = {
+  // React component header
+  printHeader: (
+    <div style={{ textAlign: 'center', fontWeight: 'bold' }}>
+      <h2>Company Annual Report</h2>
+      <p>Confidential - Internal Use Only</p>
+    </div>
+  ),
+  
+  // HTML string footer
+  printFooter: `
+    <div style="display: flex; justify-content: space-between;">
+      <span>© 2024 Company Name</span>
+      <span>Page [page] of [total]</span>
+      <span>Generated: ${new Date().toLocaleDateString()}</span>
+    </div>
+  `,
+  
+  // Different first page header
+  printHeaderFirstPage: (
+    <div className="cover-page-header">
+      <img src="/company-logo.png" alt="Company Logo" />
+      <h1>Annual Report 2024</h1>
+    </div>
+  )
+};
+```
+
+#### Template Variables in Headers/Footers
+```tsx
+const templatePrintConfig = {
+  printFooter: 'Page [page] of [total] • Generated on [date] • company.com',
+  printHeader: 'Document: [title] • Department: [department] • Classification: [level]'
+};
+
+// Template variables are automatically replaced:
+// [page] → Current page number
+// [total] → Total page count  
+// [date] → Current date/time
+// [title] → Document title
+// Custom variables from page context
+```
+
+### Print-Specific Page Variants
+
+#### Different Layout Variants for Print
+```tsx
+function DocumentPage() {
+  return (
+    <Page
+      variant="narrow"           // Optimized for reading
+      padding="large"
+      background="default"
+      printConfig={{
+        hideScaffolding: true,
+        optimizeForMonochrome: true,
+        printTitle: 'Article Title'
+      }}
+    >
+      <article>
+        <h1>Article Title</h1>
+        <p>Content optimized for print...</p>
+      </article>
+    </Page>
+  );
+}
+
+// Wide layout for tables and data
+function DataTablePage() {
+  return (
+    <Page
+      variant="wide"
+      padding="small"
+      printConfig={{
+        pageMargins: '6mm',        // Minimize margins for tables
+        hideScaffolding: true,
+        printTitle: 'Data Report'
+      }}
+    >
+      <table className="data-table">
+        {/* Wide table content */}
+      </table>
+    </Page>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Integration with Page Templates
+
+#### Schema-Driven Print Configuration
+```tsx
+import { PageTemplateSchema } from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+const pageTemplate: PageTemplateSchema = {
+  slug: "financial-report",
+  name: "Financial Report",
+  title: "Q4 Financial Report | Company",
+  description: "Quarterly financial analysis and projections",
+  
+  // Complete print configuration in schema
+  printConfig: {
+    theme: "light",
+    hideScaffolding: true,
+    hideInteractiveElements: true,
+    optimizeForMonochrome: true,
+    printTitle: "Q4 2024 Financial Report",
+    printHeader: "CONFIDENTIAL - Financial Department",
+    printFooter: "© 2024 Company • Internal Use Only",
+    pageMargins: "20mm",
+    showPrintDate: true,
+    printBackground: "linear-gradient(to bottom, #f8f9fa, #ffffff)"
+  },
+  
+  children: `
+    <div class="financial-report">
+      <h1>Q4 Financial Performance</h1>
+      <section class="metrics">
+        <!-- Financial content -->
+      </section>
+    </div>
+  `
+};
+
+// Use template-driven page
+function FinancialReportPage() {
+  return <Page template={pageTemplate} />;
+}
+```
+
+### Print Mode Context and State Management
+
+#### Accessing Print State Throughout App
+```tsx
+import { usePageContext } from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+function PrintAwareComponent() {
+  const { 
+    isPrintMode, 
+    printConfig, 
+    triggerPrint 
+  } = usePageContext();
+
+  // Conditional rendering based on print mode
+  if (isPrintMode) {
+    return (
+      <div className="print-optimized">
+        <h2>Print-Optimized View</h2>
+        <p>Simplified content for printing</p>
+        <p>Theme: {printConfig.theme}</p>
+      </div>
+    );
+  }
+
+  return (
+    <div className="interactive-view">
+      <h2>Interactive View</h2>
+      <button onClick={() => triggerPrint({ 
+        optimizeForMonochrome: true,
+        printTitle: 'Custom Print Title'
+      })}>
+        Print This Page
+      </button>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Print CSS Classes and Styling
+
+#### Automatic Print Mode Classes
+```css
+/* Page automatically gets print mode classes */
+.page-print-mode {
+  /* Applied when in print mode */
+}
+
+.page-print-borderless {
+  /* Applied when pageMargins: '0mm' */
+}
+
+.page-print-compact {
+  /* Applied when pageMargins: '6mm' */
+}
+
+.page-print-large {
+  /* Applied when pageMargins: '20mm' */
+}
+
+.page-print-formal {
+  /* Applied when pageMargins: '25mm' */
+}
+
+.has-background {
+  /* Applied when custom background is specified */
+}
+```
+
+#### Custom Print Styling
+```css
+/* Print-specific component styling */
+@media print {
+  .interactive-element {
+    display: none !important; /* Hide interactive elements */
+  }
+  
+  .print-only {
+    display: block !important; /* Show print-only content */
+  }
+  
+  .page-break-before {
+    page-break-before: always; /* Force page breaks */
+  }
+  
+  .no-break {
+    page-break-inside: avoid; /* Prevent breaking */
+  }
+}
+
+/* Print header/footer styling */
+.page-print-header {
+  position: fixed;
+  top: 0;
+  left: 0;
+  right: 0;
+  height: var(--print-header-height);
+  background: white;
+  border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;
+  padding: 10px;
+  box-sizing: border-box;
+}
+
+.page-print-footer {
+  position: fixed;
+  bottom: 0;
+  left: 0;
+  right: 0;
+  height: var(--print-footer-height);
+  background: white;
+  border-top: 1px solid #ddd;
+  padding: 10px;
+  box-sizing: border-box;
+}
+```
+
+### Print System Best Practices
+
+#### Performance Optimization
+```tsx
+// Efficient print mode detection
+const { isPrintMode } = usePrintMode();
+
+// Conditional loading of print-specific components
+const PrintableContent = lazy(() => import('./PrintableContent'));
+
+// Memoized print configuration
+const printConfig = useMemo(() => ({
+  theme: 'light',
+  hideScaffolding: true,
+  optimizeForMonochrome: true
+}), []);
+```
+
+#### Accessibility in Print Mode
+```tsx
+const accessiblePrintConfig = {
+  // High contrast for accessibility
+  optimizeForMonochrome: true,
+  theme: 'light',
+  
+  // Clear headers for navigation
+  printHeader: 'Document Title - Section Navigation',
+  
+  // Informative footers
+  printFooter: 'Page [page] of [total] - Contact: support@company.com'
+};
+```
+
+#### Multi-Page Document Handling
+```tsx
+function MultiPageDocument() {
+  return (
+    <Page printConfig={{
+      pageMargins: '20mm',
+      printHeader: 'Multi-Page Report',
+      printFooter: 'Page [page] of [total]',
+      printBackground: 'white'
+    }}>
+      <section className="page-break-before">
+        <h1>Chapter 1</h1>
+        <p>Content that starts on a new page...</p>
+      </section>
+      
+      <section className="page-break-before">
+        <h1>Chapter 2</h1>
+        <p>Content that starts on another new page...</p>
+      </section>
+      
+      <div className="no-break">
+        <h2>Important Section</h2>
+        <p>Content that should not be split across pages...</p>
+      </div>
+    </Page>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Migration Guide
+
+#### Converting Legacy Pages to New System
+```tsx
+// BEFORE: Legacy page implementation
+function LegacyHomePage() {
+  useEffect(() => {
+    document.title = "Home | My App";
+  }, []);
+
+  return (
+    <div className="page-container">
+      <div className="page-header">
+        <h1>Welcome to My App</h1>
+      </div>
+      <div className="page-content">
+        <p>Some content here...</p>
+      </div>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+
+// AFTER: New Page system (Method 1: Props-based)
+function NewHomePage() {
+  return (
+    <Page
+      title="Home | My App"
+      description="Welcome to our application"
+      variant="default"
+      padding="medium"
+      printConfig={{
+        hideScaffolding: true,
+        showPrintDate: true
+      }}
+    >
+      <h1>Welcome to My App</h1>
+      <p>Some content here...</p>
+    </Page>
+  );
+}
+
+// AFTER: New Page system (Method 2: Template-based)
+const homePageTemplate: PageTemplateSchema = {
+  slug: "home",
+  name: "Home",
+  title: "Home | My App",
+  description: "Welcome to our application",
+  children: `
+    <h1>Welcome to My App</h1>
+    <p>Some content here...</p>
+  `,
+  printConfig: {
+    theme: 'light',
+    hideScaffolding: true,
+    showPrintDate: true
+  },
+  showInNavigation: true,
+  navigationPriority: 0
+};
+
+function TemplateHomePage() {
+  return <Page template={homePageTemplate} />;
+}
+
+// AFTER: CMS-integrated page
+function CMSHomePage() {
+  return (
+    <Page
+      dataSource="api/pages/home"
+      title="Home | My App"  // Fallback if CMS data fails
+      description="Welcome to our application"
+    >
+      {/* Fallback content */}
+      <h1>Loading...</h1>
+    </Page>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+#### Print-Aware Migration
+```tsx
+// BEFORE: Manual print handling
+function LegacyPrintablePage() {
+  const [isPrinting, setIsPrinting] = useState(false);
+
+  useEffect(() => {
+    const handleBeforePrint = () => setIsPrinting(true);
+    const handleAfterPrint = () => setIsPrinting(false);
+    
+    window.addEventListener('beforeprint', handleBeforePrint);
+    window.addEventListener('afterprint', handleAfterPrint);
+    
+    return () => {
+      window.removeEventListener('beforeprint', handleBeforePrint);
+      window.removeEventListener('afterprint', handleAfterPrint);
+    };
+  }, []);
+
+  return (
+    <div className={isPrinting ? 'print-mode' : ''}>
+      {!isPrinting && <nav>Navigation</nav>}
+      <main>Content</main>
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+
+// AFTER: Automatic print handling with Page system
+function NewPrintablePage() {
+  return (
+    <Page
+      title="Printable Document"
+      printConfig={{
+        hideScaffolding: true,              // Automatically hides navigation
+        hideInteractiveElements: true,       // Hides buttons when printing
+        optimizeForMonochrome: true,         // Optimizes for B&W printing
+        printTitle: 'Important Document',    // Custom print title
+        showPrintDate: true                  // Shows print date
+      }}
+    >
+      <main>Content</main>
+      <button>Interactive Element</button>  {/* Hidden in print mode */}
+    </Page>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+### Best Practices
+
+#### Page System Best Practices
+1. **Use Templates for CMS**: Always use `PageTemplateSchema` for CMS-driven content
+2. **Print Configuration**: Define print behavior early in development
+3. **SEO Optimization**: Always include title, description, and metadata
+4. **Accessibility**: Use proper heading hierarchy and ARIA attributes
+5. **Performance**: Lazy load heavy content and optimize images for print
+
+#### Schema Design Patterns
+```tsx
+// Good: Comprehensive page template
+const wellDesignedTemplate: PageTemplateSchema = {
+  // Clear identity
+  slug: "user-guide",
+  name: "User Guide",
+  
+  // Complete SEO
+  title: "User Guide - How to Use Our App | MyApp",
+  description: "Comprehensive guide to using all features of MyApp effectively",
+  metaKeywords: "user guide, tutorial, help, documentation",
+  metaAuthor: "Documentation Team",
+  
+  // Print-optimized
+  printConfig: {
+    theme: 'light',
+    hideScaffolding: true,
+    hideInteractiveElements: true,

+## Component Serialization System
+
+The QwickApps React Framework includes a powerful Component Serialization System that enables "WebView for React" functionality. Components can be serialized to JSON, transmitted across boundaries, stored in databases or CMS systems, and reconstructed as fully functional React components.
+
+### Basic Serialization Usage
+
+```tsx
+import { 
+  ComponentTransformer, 
+  Code, Image, Text, HeroBlock, GridLayout, GridCell, Button,
+  TextInputField, SelectInputField, HtmlInputField, ChoiceInputField, SwitchInputField, FormBlock
+} from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+// Create components
+const codeComponent = (
+  <Code language="javascript" showCopy={true} title="example.js">
+    const greeting = 'Hello, Serialization!';
+    console.log(greeting);
+  </Code>
+);
+
+const imageComponent = (
+  <Image 
+    src="/example.jpg" 
+    alt="Example image"
+    width={400}
+    height={300}
+    responsive={true}
+    loading="lazy"
+  />
+);
+
+const textComponent = (
+  <Text 
+    variant="h2" 
+    color="primary" 
+    align="center"
+    component="h1"
+    gutterBottom={true}
+  >
+    Welcome to Component Serialization!
+  </Text>
+);
+
+// Complex component with nested elements
+const heroBlockComponent = (
+  <HeroBlock
+    title="Serializable Hero Section"
+    subtitle="Full functionality preserved through JSON serialization"
+    backgroundGradient="linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%)"
+    height="medium"
+    actions={[
+      <Button key="primary" variant="contained" color="primary">Get Started</Button>,
+      <Button key="secondary" variant="outlined" color="secondary">Learn More</Button>
+    ]}
+  />
+);
+
+// Responsive grid layout with nested components
+const gridLayoutComponent = (
+  <GridLayout columns={3} spacing="large" equalHeight responsive>
+    <GridCell xs={12} sm={6} md={4} padding="medium">
+      <Text variant="h3">Feature One</Text>
+      <Text variant="body1">Description of the first feature</Text>
+    </GridCell>
+    <GridCell xs={12} sm={6} md={4} padding="medium">
+      <Text variant="h3">Feature Two</Text>
+      <Text variant="body1">Description of the second feature</Text>
+    </GridCell>
+    <GridCell xs={12} sm={12} md={4} padding="medium">
+      <Text variant="h3">Feature Three</Text>
+      <Text variant="body1">Description of the third feature</Text>
+    </GridCell>
+  </GridLayout>
+);
+
+// Form components with state management
+const formComponent = (
+  <FormBlock title="User Registration" status="active">
+    <TextInputField 
+      value="John Doe"
+      placeholder="Enter your name"
+      required={true}
+      validation={{ minLength: 2 }}
+    />
+    <SelectInputField
+      value="admin"
+      options={[
+        { label: "Administrator", value: "admin" },
+        { label: "User", value: "user" },
+        { label: "Guest", value: "guest" }
+      ]}
+      required={true}
+    />
+    <HtmlInputField
+      value="<p>Rich <strong>text</strong> content</p>"
+      placeholder="Enter description"
+    />
+    <ChoiceInputField
+      value={["option1", "option2"]}
+      options={[
+        { label: "Option 1", value: "option1" },
+        { label: "Option 2", value: "option2" }
+      ]}
+    />
+    <SwitchInputField
+      value={true}
+      label="Enable notifications"
+      validation={{ required: true }}
+    />
+  </FormBlock>
+);
+
+// Serialize to JSON string
+const serializedCode = ComponentTransformer.serialize(codeComponent);
+const serializedImage = ComponentTransformer.serialize(imageComponent);
+const serializedText = ComponentTransformer.serialize(textComponent);
+const serializedHero = ComponentTransformer.serialize(heroBlockComponent);
+const serializedGrid = ComponentTransformer.serialize(gridLayoutComponent);
+const serializedForm = ComponentTransformer.serialize(formComponent);
+
+// Deserialize back to React components
+const reconstructedCode = ComponentTransformer.deserialize(serializedCode);
+const reconstructedImage = ComponentTransformer.deserialize(serializedImage);
+const reconstructedText = ComponentTransformer.deserialize(serializedText);
+const reconstructedHero = ComponentTransformer.deserialize(serializedHero);
+const reconstructedGrid = ComponentTransformer.deserialize(serializedGrid);
+const reconstructedForm = ComponentTransformer.deserialize(serializedForm);
+// All components are fully functional with all properties preserved, including nested components, responsive breakpoints, and form state
+```
+
+### Serialized Data Format
+
+Components are serialized using a standardized format:
+
+```json
+// Code Component
+{
+  "tag": "Code",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "data": {
+    "children": "const greeting = 'Hello, Serialization!';\nconsole.log(greeting);",
+    "language": "javascript",
+    "showCopy": true,
+    "title": "example.js"
+  }
+}
+
+// Image Component  
+{
+  "tag": "Image",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "data": {
+    "src": "/example.jpg",
+    "alt": "Example image",
+    "width": 400,
+    "height": 300,
+    "responsive": true,
+    "loading": "lazy"
+  }
+}
+
+// Text Component
+{
+  "tag": "Text",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "data": {
+    "children": "Welcome to Component Serialization!",
+    "variant": "h2",
+    "color": "primary",
+    "align": "center",
+    "component": "h1",
+    "gutterBottom": true
+  }
+}
+
+// HeroBlock Component with Nested Elements
+{
+  "tag": "HeroBlock", 
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "data": {
+    "title": "Serializable Hero Section",
+    "subtitle": "Full functionality preserved through JSON serialization",
+    "backgroundGradient": "linear-gradient(135deg, #667eea 0%, #764ba2 100%)",
+    "height": "medium",
+    "actions": "[{\"key\":\"primary\",\"type\":\"Button\",\"props\":{\"variant\":\"contained\",\"color\":\"primary\",\"children\":\"Get Started\"}},{\"key\":\"secondary\",\"type\":\"Button\",\"props\":{\"variant\":\"outlined\",\"color\":\"secondary\",\"children\":\"Learn More\"}}]"
+  }
+}
+
+// GridLayout Component with Responsive Configuration
+{
+  "tag": "GridLayout",
+  "version": "1.0.0", 
+  "data": {
+    "columns": 3,
+    "spacing": "large",
+    "equalHeight": true,
+    "responsive": true,
+    "children": "[{\"tag\":\"GridCell\",\"version\":\"1.0.0\",\"data\":{\"xs\":12,\"sm\":6,\"md\":4,\"padding\":\"medium\",\"children\":\"Feature content...\"}},{\"tag\":\"GridCell\",\"version\":\"1.0.0\",\"data\":{\"xs\":12,\"sm\":6,\"md\":4,\"padding\":\"medium\",\"children\":\"More content...\"}}]"
+  }
+}
+
+// GridCell Component with Responsive Breakpoints
+{
+  "tag": "GridCell",
+  "version": "1.0.0",
+  "data": {
+    "xs": 12,
+    "sm": 6, 
+    "md": 4,
+    "lg": 3,
+    "xl": 2,
+    "padding": "medium",
+    "children": "Cell content with responsive breakpoint configuration"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### CMS and API Integration
+
+The serialization system is perfect for CMS integration:
+
+```tsx
+// API returns serialized components
+const response = await fetch('/api/content/components');
+const { components } = await response.json();
+
+// Render components from API/CMS data
+function DynamicContent() {
+  return (
+    <div>
+      {components.map((componentData, index) => (
+        <div key={index}>
+          {ComponentTransformer.deserialize(componentData)}
+        </div>
+      ))}
+    </div>
+  );
+}
+
+// CMS provides serialized component data
+const cmsData = {
+  tag: "Code",
+  version: "1.0.0",
+  data: {
+    children: "// Code from CMS\nconst cms = 'integration';",
+    language: "javascript",
+    showCopy: true,
+    title: "CMS Example"
+  }
+};
+
+// Automatic reconstruction from CMS
+const cmsComponent = ComponentTransformer.deserialize(cmsData);
+```
+
+### Data Binding with Serialization
+
+Components with data binding maintain their connections through serialization:
+
+```tsx
+// Component with data binding
+const dataBoundComponent = (
+  <Code 
+    dataSource="api/code-examples/fibonacci"
+    bindingOptions={{ cache: true, cacheTTL: 300000 }}
+    language="javascript"
+    showCopy={true}
+  />
+);
+
+// Serialization preserves data binding configuration
+const serialized = ComponentTransformer.serialize(dataBoundComponent);
+
+// After deserialization, data binding continues to work
+const deserialized = ComponentTransformer.deserialize(serialized);
+// Component will still load data from "api/code-examples/fibonacci"
+```
+
+### Performance Characteristics
+
+The serialization system is highly optimized:
+
+- **Serialization Speed**: <1ms for typical components
+- **Deserialization Speed**: <1ms for component reconstruction
+- **Scalability**: Handles 1000+ components in <50ms
+- **Memory Usage**: <50MB for component trees with 5000+ components
+- **Cross-Browser**: Consistent performance across all major browsers
+
+### Creating Serializable Components
+
+The Code component serves as the reference implementation. To make your own components serializable:
+
+```tsx
+import React, { ReactElement } from 'react';
+import { Serializable } from '@qwickapps/react-framework';
+
+export class MyComponent extends React.Component<MyComponentProps> implements Serializable {
+  // Component self-declaration
+  static readonly tagName = 'MyComponent';
+  static readonly version = '1.0.0';
+  
+  // Deserialization: JSON data → React element
+  static fromJson(jsonData: any): ReactElement {
+    return <MyComponent {...jsonData} />;
+  }
+  
+  // Serialization: Component instance → JSON data
+  toJson(): any {
+    return {
+      title: this.props.title,
+      content: this.props.content,
+      // Add all serializable props
+    };
+  }
+
+  render() {
+    return <MyComponentView {...this.props} />;
+  }
+}
+
+// Components are automatically registered when imported
+```
