FileReader class
The object lets web applications asynchronously read the
contents of files (or raw data buffers) stored on the user's
computer, using File or Blob objects to specify the file or
data to read.
File objects may be obtained from a FileList object returned
as a result of a user selecting files using the <input>
element, from a drag and drop operation's DataTransfer object,
or from the mozGetAsFile() API on an HTMLCanvasElement.
can only access the contents of files that the user has
explicitly selected, either using an HTML <input type="file">
element or by drag and drop. It cannot be used to read a file by
pathname from the user's file system. To read files on the
client's file system by pathname, use the File System Access API.
To read server-side files, use standard Ajax solutions, with CORS
permission if reading cross-domain.
Note: This feature is available in Web Workers
