I've to access to files on the software user and I don't know if it's better to use a full JS app with HTML5 File Api rules or use Java and communicate with it ?

    Do all of your user's browsers support the File API? Commented Jun 10, 2012 at 21:27
  • No because they don't have Chrome so no File API Commented Jun 11, 2012 at 19:40

If you have the option to use the HTML file api and you are not worried about browser compatibility then you should avoid using 3rd party things like java as a far as possible and keep as close as possible to bare bones.

Java requires a JRE to be installed on the client PC, which adds a deployment layer, however simple it may be.
