This is already supported with the name "State" ;-) See for example the
discussion here:

http://reclinejs.com/docs/views.html

And this example of gathering all state data together in multiview:

https://github.com/okfn/recline/blob/master/src/view.multiview.js#L351

You can obviously just do it per view e.g. for the graph view:

graphView.state.toJSON()

Should do what you want ...
