Hi,

I want to read and write json files. I'm new with nodejs so I don't have 
much experience.
This is the content of my file and the structure:

{
   "products": {
       "1234": {
           "states": {
               "STATEA": 0,
               "STATEB": 0,
               "STATEC": 0
           },
           "emailContacts": [
               "[email protected]",
               "[email protected]"
           ]
       },
       "1256734": {
           "states": {
               "STATEA": 0,
               "STATEB": 0,
               "STATEC": 0
           },
           "emailContacts": [
              "[email protected]",
              "[email protected]"
           ]
       }
   }
}

I use this file because actually I dont't use a database. 
Now I have a nodejs app which read states from receiving messages, if one 
state is not normal I want to change the value of the state in the json 
file ad save the state there. For this I tried this code:

var file = require('./data.json')
console.dir(file.products['1234'].states['STATEA']);
file.products['1234'].states['STATEA']=5;
console.dir(file.products['1234'].states['STATEA']);

It seems to work, but after stopping the nodejs app and looking into the 
file there is no change in the file.
I tried different things but I didn't find a solution. I think the problem 
is while running the app I only work on a copy of the file and not on the 
original file...
I want to store the states in the file for a longer time. Later I want to 
use a database instead a json file.

Thanks for help! :)
