+# `Html`
+
+```js
+import { Html } from 'slate'
+```
+
+The `Html` serializer lets you parse and stringify arbitrary HTML content, based on your specific schema's use case. You must pass a series of `rules` to define how your Slate schema should be serialized to and from HTML.
+
+For an example of the `Html` serializer in action, check out the [`paste-html` example](../../examples/paste-html).

+## Example
+
+```txt
+The Slate editor gives you full control over the logic you can add.\n
+In its simplest form, when representing plain text, Slate is a glorified <textarea>. But you can augment it to be much more than that.\n
+Check out http://slatejs.org for examples!
+```
+
+
+## Properties
+
+### `rules`
+`Array`
+
+An array of rules to initialize the `Html` serializer with, defining your schema.
+
+
+## Methods
+
+### `Html.deserialize`
+`Html.deserialize(html: String) => State`
+
+Deserialize an HTML `string` into a [`State`](../models/state.md). How the string is deserialized will be determined by the rules that the `Html` serializer was constructed with.
+
+### `Html.serialize`
+`Html.serialize(state: State) => String`
+
+Serialize a `state` into an HTML string. How the string is serialized will be determined by the rules that the `Html` serializer was constructed with.
+
+
+## Rules
+
+To initialize an `Html` serialize, you must pass it an array of rules, defining your schema. Each rule defines how to deserialize and serialize a node or mark, by implementing two functions.
+
+### Rule Properties
+
+Each rule must define two properties:
+
+#### `rule.deserialize`
+`rule.deserialize(el: CheerioElement, next: Function) => Object`
+
+
+#### `rule.serialize`
+`rule.serialize(object: Node || Mark) => ReactElement`

+### `Plain.deserialize`
+`Plain.deserialize(string: String) => State`
+
+Deserialize a plain text `string` into a [`State`](../models/state.md). A series of blocks will be created by splitting the input string on `\n` characters. Each block is given a type of `'line'`.
+
+### `Plain.serialize`
+`Plain.serialize(state: State) => String`
+
+Serialize a `state` into a plain text string. Each direct child block of the document will be separated by a `\n` character.

+# `Raw`
+
+```js
+import { Raw } from 'slate'
+```
+
+The raw JSON serialized that ships by default with Slate. It converts a [`State`](../models/state.md) into a JSON object. 
+
+The raw JSON object created will omit default-value properties to reduce the serialized data's size. For example, if the dictionary of [`Data`](../models/data.md) for a [`Node`](../models/node.md) is empty, it will be omitted.
+
+In the raw format, text is represented as "ranges", which are a more compact way to represent the formatting applied to characters than the immutable model Slate uses internally.
