How to download S3 object data using plain Javascript (no Node)

Question

So I am using AWS Javascript SDK to S3 object, using this method:

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/S3.html#getObject-property

The call completed successfully, however it only shows the Object data with string.

How can I download this file from browser with only plain Javascript?

Answer 1

The documentation clearly states in the Callback section of the getObject method that data.Body will return a "Buffer, Typed Array, Blob, String, ReadableStream".

That's your file.
