Local file access with JavaScript

Question

Is there local file manipulation that\'s been done with JavaScript? I\'m looking for a solution that can be accomplished with no install footprint like requiring Adobe AIR.<

Answer 1

NW.js allows you to create desktop applications using Javascript without all the security restrictions usually placed on the browser. So you can run executables with a function, or create/edit/read/write/delete files. You can access the hardware, such as current CPU usage or total ram in use, etc.

You can create a windows, linux, or mac desktop application with it that doesn't require any installation.
