| # FileSystem API |
| |
| This directory contains the renderer side implementation of various filesystem |
| related APIs. |
| |
| ## Related directories |
| |
| [`//storage/browser/file_system/`](../../../../../storage/browser/file_system) |
| contains part of the browser side implementation, while |
| [`//content/browser/file_system/`](../../../../../content/browser/file_system) |
| contains the rest of the browser side implementation and |
| [`blink/public/mojom/filesystem`](../../../public/mojom/filesystem) contains the |
| mojom interfaces for these APIs. |
| |
| ## APIs In this directory |
| |
| ### File and Directory Entries API |
| |
| First of all this directory contains the implementation of the |
| [Entries API](https://wicg.github.io/entries-api). This API consists of |
| types to expose read-only access to file and directory entries to the web, |
| primarily used by drag-and-drop and `<input type=file>`. Our implementation |
| doesn't match the interface names of the spec, but otherwise should be pretty |
| close to the spec. |

| TODO(mek): More details |
| |
| ### File API: Directories and FileSystem |
| |
| Secondly this directory contains the implementation of something similar to the |
| deprecated [w3c file-system-api](https://www.w3.org/TR/2012/WD-file-system-api-20120417/). |
| This API is very similar to the previous Entries API, but it also adds support |
| for writing and modifying to files and directories, as well as a way to get |
| access to a origin scoped sandboxed filesystem. |
