<p>The File System 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 virtual, sandboxed file system.</p>
<p>The asynchronous API methods return without blocking the calling thread. The asynchronous API doesn't give you data by returning values; instead, you have to pass a callback function. The synchronous API is intended to be used inside <a href="/en/DOM/Worker" title="Worker">WebWorkers</a>.</p>
<p>For an overview of the File System API, see the following articles:</p>
