## What it is
A tiny JavaScript library providing a download() function that triggers client-side file downloads in the browser from strings, Blobs, Typed Arrays, URLs, or dataURLs. It saves files with a specified name and MIME type, mimicking a server's Content-Disposition header.

## Use cases
- trigger a file download from javascript
- save generated data as a file in the browser
- download a blob to the user's disk
- export client-side data to a csv or text file
- save a dataurl as a named file
- download a file from a url without a server round trip

## When to choose
- you need a small dependency-free way to save client-generated data as a file
- you want to trigger downloads from strings, blobs, typed arrays, or dataurls
- you need broad legacy browser support for client-side downloads

## When to avoid
- you need server-side file downloads or streaming large files
- you need download progress tracking or resumable downloads
- your framework already provides a built-in file-save utility

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: file-upload, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, frontend, files
- platform: browser
- tags: client-side-download, blob, dataurl, browser-file-save, javascript
