An object of this type is returned by the files property of the HTML <input> element; this lets you access the list of files selected with the <input type="file"> element. It's also used for a list of files dropped into web content when using the drag and drop API; see the DataTransfer object for details on this usage.
In the File System API, a FileException object represents error conditions that you might encounter while accessing the file system using the synchronous API. It extends the FileException interface described in File Writer and adds several new error codes.
The LocalFileSystem interface of the File System API gives you access to a sandboxed file system. The methods are implemented by window and worker objects.
The LocalFileSystemSync interface of the File System API gives you access to a sandboxed file system. It is intended to be used with WebWorkers. The methods are implemented by worker objects.
The File and Directory Entries API simulates a local file system that web apps can navigate around. You can develop apps that can read, write, and create files and directories in a sandboxed, virtual file system.
The FileSystemFileEntry interface of the File System API represents a file in a file system. It offers properties describing the file's attributes, as well as methods for creating a FileWriter object to write to the file or a File object to read the file.
The FileReader object lets web applications asynchronously read the contents of files (or raw data buffers) stored on the user's computer, using File or Blob objects to specify the file or data to read.
