 # [filejson](https://github.com/bchr02/filejson)
-Use a JSON encoded file to automatically save a JavaScript value to disk whenever that value changes. A value can be a Javascript: string, number, boolean, null, object, or an array. The value can be structured in an array or an object to allow for more complex data stores. These structures can also be nested. As a result, you can use this module as a simple document store for storing semi structured data.

 ## Requirements
 [ECMAScript 6 Reflect and Proxy objects](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Proxy)  support, which is found natively in Node.js >= 6. If you are using a version of Node.js < 6, use a polyfill, such as [harmony-reflect](https://github.com/tvcutsem/harmony-reflect). Proxy support is key for this module working so eloquently. Other non-Proxy based modules require function calls each time you wish to save an object. Unlike those, [filejson](https://github.com/bchr02/filejson) is as easy as ```file.contents = "my new value"``` or ```file.contents = {"msg": "Hello World"}``` and the changes are automatically saved to disk.
