Answer 1

You can use blobs as shown in this example http://html5-demos.appspot.com/static/a.download.html

You can have a javacript function with the following code

var xmltext = "";
var pom = document.createElement('a');

var filename = "file.xml";
var pom = document.createElement('a');
var bb = new Blob([xmltext], {type: 'text/plain'});

pom.setAttribute('href', window.URL.createObjectURL(bb));
pom.setAttribute('download', filename);

pom.dataset.downloadurl = ['text/plain', pom.download, pom.href].join(':');
pom.draggable = true; 
pom.classList.add('dragout');

pom.click();
