File API

Last updated on : 2023-03-20

Note:

File API shows a browser compatibility score of 97. This is a collective score out of 100 to represent browser support of a web technology. The higher this score is, the greater is the browser compatibility. The browser compatibility score is not a 100% reflection for every browser and the web technology support. However, it does give you an estimate on how much you should rely on a particular web technology in terms of browser compatibility.

Overview

By using the FileAPI, you can manipulate file objects both client-side and programmatically. You can even programmatically select them and access the data.
