+### Serializing data
+
+The `view()` allows for serialization of data to JavaScript through the
+`to_json()`, `to_ndjson()`, `to_columns()`, `to_csv()`, and `to_arrow()` methods
+(the same data formats supported by the `Client::table` factory function). These
+methods return a `promise` for the calculated data:
+
+```javascript
+const view = await table.view({ group_by: ["State"], columns: ["Sales"] });
+
+// JavaScript Objects
+console.log(await view.to_json());
+console.log(await view.to_columns());
+
+// String
+console.log(await view.to_csv());
+console.log(await view.to_ndjson());
+
+// ArrayBuffer
+console.log(await view.to_arrow());
+```
