I have a web project that I made with HTML-Javascript. I want to use the XML file (in local project folders) in this web project in javascript. Then I want to make a few changes in this XML file and overwrite the same xml file again. How can I do that?

CodePudding user response：

JavaScript runs in the browser and is isolated from the local system. So the usual way is to upload/download the file. However here are several possibilities.

A small server application

Develop and start a small server application for example with node.js. The server part will provide the file system access.

Use a wrapper

A more advanced version of the previous solution, you encapsulate the web application using a wrapper like Electron.

File System Access API

Use the File System Access API available in some of the new Chromium based browsers.
