JSON Export for UI Element Structure

[JelleBuning]

Currently, automating the creation of FlaUI tests requires manually inspecting the UI structure to determine element IDs, AutomationIds, or other properties. This process can be tedious and prone to error.

Proposed Solution
I propose adding a feature that allows exporting the structure of a target UI element (and its descendants) into a JSON format.

This export function could be exposed on the AutomationElement class or through a new utility class. The JSON should capture key properties of each element in the tree, such as:

• ControlType (e.g., Button, TextBox)
• AutomationId
• Name

Very good idea.
I have already implemented very similar functionality a while ago. It generates unique xpaths and you can copy them.
There is also another functionality which delivers all the full xpath of the children elements and so on.

Take a look at my fork. https://github.com/noubar/FlaUInspectStable
This project was not maintained for a looong while, this is why it is still under my fork!
