Hi Mozilla,

The File System API is already available to all Chromium-based browsers, and also on Safari Tech Preview version. It is essential to create web apps for users. As seen on Mozilla documentation, many features of the API are already there, but these are not: window.showDirectoryPicker window.showOpenFilePicker window.showSaveFilePicker'

Will the full API set be available soon?


Best regards,

Dan

I doubt that. These methods are marked as experimental, so they would want to stabilize the API first. It's a long way to general availability.

Tks TyDraniu, I still hope the API will go to general availability quick, it's quite already a standard in dev community.
