Two File API Working Drafts Published

Author(s) and publish date

Published:: 17 April 2012

The Web Applications Working Group has published two Working Draft today:

File API: Writer. This specification defines an API for writing to files from web applications. This API is designed to be used in conjunction with, and depends on definitions in, other APIs and elements on the web platform. Most relevant among these are File API and Web Workers.
File API: Directories and System. This specification defines an API to navigate file system hierarchies, and defines a means by which a user agent may expose sandboxed sections of a user's local filesystem to web applications. It builds on File Writer API, which in turn built on File API, each adding a different kind of functionality.
