Upgrade to Pro
Checkout the Pro version of the WebSerial library which comes with enhanced & snappy UI, along with 'clear' & 'lock scroll' buttons on the monitor interface. Best of all, it's only 10KB in size compared to 50KB of regular WebSerial.

Documentation
WebSerial is very similar to the default Serial Monitor Library of Arduino.
Please see Demo examples for better understanding on how to setup WebSerial for your Project: Click Here
WebSerial has 2 main functions:
printprintln
print - simply prints the data sent over WebSerial without any newline character.
println - prints the data sent over WebSerial with a newline character.
Both functions support the following datatypes: String, const char, char, int, uint8_t, uint16_t, uint32_t, double, float.
To Access Webserial: Go to <IP Address>/webserial in your browser ( where <IP Address> is the IP of your ESP).
