Save/download data generated in JavaScript
Because I was bored I wrote a HTML5 player for Magnatune : Magnatune Player Greattune Player [ repo ]. Besides learning jQuery , HTML5 audio and HTML Drag and Drop I also developed a method to save playlists to files. Everything except the search is implemented in JavaScript, so the server never knows the playlist. Because I didn't want to send the playlist to the server just so the user can download it I investigated what methods there are to save data generated in JavaScript. I came up with the solution presented here. It does not use Flash or a echo server and is therefore supported in every recent browser except Internet Explorer before the version 10.
