-# Read and write files
-
-## Concepts
-
-- Deno's runtime API provides the
-  [Deno.readTextFile](https://doc.deno.land/builtin/stable#Deno.readTextFile)
-  and
-  [Deno.writeTextFile](https://doc.deno.land/builtin/stable#Deno.writeTextFile)
-  asynchronous functions for reading and writing entire text files.
-- Like many of Deno's APIs, synchronous alternatives are also available. See
-  [Deno.readTextFileSync](https://doc.deno.land/builtin/stable#Deno.readTextFileSync)
-  and
-  [Deno.writeTextFileSync](https://doc.deno.land/builtin/stable#Deno.writeTextFileSync).
-- Use `--allow-read` and `--allow-write` permissions to gain access to the file
-  system.
-
-## Overview
-
-Interacting with the filesystem to read and write files is a common requirement.
-Deno provides a number of ways to do this via the
-[standard library](https://deno.land/std) and the
-[Deno runtime API](https://doc.deno.land/builtin/stable).
-
-As highlighted in the [Fetch Data example](./fetch_data) Deno restricts access
-to Input / Output by default for security reasons. Therefore when interacting
-with the filesystem the `--allow-read` and `--allow-write` flags must be used
-with the `deno run` command.
-
-## Reading a text file
-
-The Deno runtime API makes it possible to read text files via the
-`Deno.readTextFile()` method, it just requires a path string or URL object. The
-method returns a promise which provides access to the file's text data.
-
-**Command:** `deno run --allow-read read.ts`
-
-```typescript
-/**
- * read.ts
- */
-const text = Deno.readTextFile("./people.json");
-
-text.then((response) => console.log(response));
-
-/**
- * Output:
- *
- * [
- *   {"id": 1, "name": "John", "age": 23},
- *   {"id": 2, "name": "Sandra", "age": 51},
- *   {"id": 5, "name": "Devika", "age": 11}
- * ]
- */
-```
-
-## Writing a text file
-
-The Deno runtime API allows developers to write text to files via the
-`Deno.writeTextFile()` method. It just requires a file path and text string. The
-method returns a promise which resolves when the file was successfully written.
-
-To run the command the `--allow-write` flag must be supplied to the `deno run`
-command.
-
-**Command:** `deno run --allow-write write.ts`
-
-```typescript
-/**
- * write.ts
- */
-const write = Deno.writeTextFile("./hello.txt", "Hello World!");
-
-write.then(() => console.log("File written to ./hello.txt"));
-
-/**
- * Output: File written to ./hello.txt
- */
-```
-
-By combining `Deno.writeTextFile` and `JSON.stringify` you can easily write
-serialized JSON objects to a file. This example uses synchronous
-`Deno.writeTextFileSync`, but this can also be done asynchronously using
-`await Deno.writeTextFile`.
-
-To execute the code the `deno run` command needs the write flag.
-
-**Command:** `deno run --allow-write write.ts`
-
-```typescript
-/**
- * write.ts
- */
-function writeJson(path: string, data: object): string {
-  try {
-    Deno.writeTextFileSync(path, JSON.stringify(data));
-
-    return "Written to " + path;
-  } catch (e) {
-    return e.message;
-  }
-}
-
-console.log(writeJson("./data.json", { hello: "World" }));
-
-/**
- * Output: Written to ./data.json
- */
-```
