Hi ke, Can you describe the use case you're trying to implement? I haven't found a way to stream file contents with a javascript IOM function yet, but there may be another way to accomplish your goal. Eli

Thank you so much, Angela and Eli. Eli, yes I would need to use JS IOM to get file contents. Please note that I was not looking for Download of file contents, but the file contents as a stream and be able to convert json to a javascript object.

Hi ke, If you would like to use the Aras RESTful API to get the contents of a vaulted file, you can do so by adding "$value" to the end of a query that returns a file item. The following sample query shows how to get the contents of a file related to a Document:

localhost/.../Document File('64B4841FBB42421890FB998CAE615C62')/related_id/$value

The blog post Angela provided will give you all the other details you need to get started. If you need to use the JavaScript IOM to get the file contents, let me know and I'll see if I can hunt down that answer. Eli

Hi, maybe this blog article may help you: http://community.aras.com/en/calling-rest-web-service-aras-method/ This sample e.g. shows how to use the content of a returned JSON file.
