Frontend javascript is sandboxed, it cannot modified any external files. Use server script, node.js.

You can't save in a file using client-side script, you have to use some server-side scripting like PHP, NodeJS etc. to save something in a file. For example in NodeJS you can use the fs library: // load file system package var fs = require('fs'); // to read var data = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('data.json').toString()); // to write fs.writeFile('data.json', JSON.stringify(data)); Hope it helps.
