We are defining a data variable to hold the content of file.
Whats the scope of this variable? Can it be used in other stages also or it is limited to stage in which its defined?

If you refer to this article: https://code-maven.com/jenkins-readfile-writefile then the variables defined using def are scoped to the enclosing block.

I think you can create variables without the def keyword and then they might be used in other stages as well, however I think they need to be serializable.
