How to create an NBT file for a spawner in minecraft?

How can I create an NBT file for a spawner in minecraft? If I already have the spawner in a world, how can I extract that as an NBT file for use in other things?

Structure blocks can allow you to select an area, and export it as a NBT file.
The saved .NBT file will contain all of the information for the blocks, entities and tile-entities within that region:
A tool such as NBTExplorer will let you move these tags up to root and delete everything else, to have an NBT file containing only the tags of the spawner:
If you're not in 1.10 yet, you may need to make a copy of the world and open that in 1.10 to use structure blocks.
