This useful attribute could help us to finish some task without intensive programming. For example, I need to get the file list of a given folder in my laptop via JavaScript. Here below is how to achieve it:

(1) Create a simple html page with source code below and open it via Chrome.

(2) Open Chrome development tool, type the command like below. There is a notification poped up by Chrome, asking you if you allow the file download. Click ok. Then a html file is automatically downloaded by Chrome.

Open the html source code and compare its content with the actual files in your local folder. They are exactly matched.
