const ascii = require("ascii-pretty-table");
const table = new ascii("A Title");
table.addRow("Row 1", "Row 2");
table.addRow("Row 3", "Row 4");

const json = table.toJSON();

const newTable = new ascii();
newTable.fromJSON(json);

Change separators

table.setSeparators({
  top: ".",
  bottom: "'",
  edge: "|",
  fill: "-",
  corner: "+",
});
