Managing binary data, files, and browser memory.
Why this section exists?
Handling files is more than just using an <input type="file">. As a Front-end Engineer, you must manage how data is processed to avoid browser crashes and memory leaks.
The Core Problem
Large files (like medical videos or high-res images) can freeze the UI or fail mid-way due to memory limits.
Engineering Patterns:
- Memory Management: Learning when to release resources (Revoke Object URLs).
- Data Partitioning: Breaking large files into manageable chunks.
- Integrity: Ensuring the file is safe and complete before it reaches the server.
Impact: This ensures the application remains fast and stable, even when processing gigabytes of data.
