window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL vs window.requestFileSystem
cordova, fileapi
Solution
Looking at `www/resolveLocalFileSystemURI.js` and `www/requestFileSystem.js` in the file plugin repo, I would say that they are practically the same.
I'd suggest using `resolveLocalFileSystemURL` if you want to access locations under `cordova.file.*` (eg `cordova.file.dataDirectory`), which is most of the time (if not always), and use `requestFileSystem` if you need to have access to the root of the filesystem.
Problem
What is the difference in using `window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL` vs `window.requestFileSystem` when downloading files with the cordova file plugin? I cant find any documentation on resolveLocalFileSystemURL but it works fine, and its easier to use? Which one should I use for simple CRUD operations in a cordova app? (I use cordova 3.4.0-0.1.3) I use it like this: ``` function onResolveSuccess(fileEntry) { fileEntry.file(function(file) { var reader = new FileReader(); reader.onloadend = function(evt) { var _machines = JSON.parse(evt.target.result); machinesCache.setMachines(_machines.AllMainCategories); }; reader.readAsText(file); }, errorHandler); }; window.resolveLocalFileSystemURL("cdvfile://localhost/persistent/machinedata/machines.json", onResolveSuccess, errorHandler); ```
