Download file from jquery/javascript

Question

I have a java script file in which a variable has some string like:

var xw = 'Some content';

I want to download this string as a file. How to do this in JQuery/javascript? I don't want to send any request on server using AJAX. Is there any way to download in purely JQuery/javascript ?
