You cannot write out anything to a file with JavaScript since you do not have access to the filesystem. The browser does not allow this and does not provide an API for it. If you want to provide a solution for your users to save the XML file I guess you have to work with your backend. A possible (server-oriented) solution would be 1) Send the XML to your server 2) The server transforms it to HTML and saves the file temporily 3) The server sends back an ID to access the file 4) You open a new tab and set the URL to a server script which accepts the ID as a parameter 5) The server sends the XML file to the client (maybe with a HTTP which forces the browser to show the "Save as" dialog A client-oriented solution would be to use an Iframe (which provides also an own document) and push the XML (formatted as HTML) into the document's body. This has the drawback that you have to show an iframe inside your application and the user has to right-click at the content to save it.
