I used this link to learn about conversion of java.util.Date object to JSON notation which was understandable by JavaScript and Human readable in network tab.

I recently needed to write a small piece of download code. So you pass in the ID of the document to a REST API and it should give you back a blob of the actual file. The problem however is how to actually save this blob of binary data into a local file. So a quick Googling threw up some interesting links which I finally used to finalize my solution.

Code to detect file name

Code to trigger download
