How do I save JSON to local text file

Question

Say I have a javascript object that looks like this :

  var data = {       name: "cliff",       age: "34",       name: "ted",       age: "42",       name: "bob",       age: "12"     }  var jsonData = JSON.stringify(data); 

I stringify it to convert to JSON. How do I save this JSON to a local text file so I can open it, say, in Notepad etc.

Node.js:

var fs = require('fs'); fs.writeFile("test.txt", jsonData, function(err) {     if (err) {         console.log(err);     } }); 

Browser (webapi):

function download(content, fileName, contentType) {     var a = document.createElement("a");     var file = new Blob([content], {type: contentType});     a.href = URL.createObjectURL(file);     a.download = fileName;     a.click(); } download(jsonData, 'json.txt', 'text/plain');
