An example use case is found here: binaries/data/mods/public/gui/gamesetup/Persistence/PersistentMatchSettings.js

saveFile(settings) { Engine.ProfileStart("savePersistMatchSettingsFile"); Engine.WriteJSONFile(this.filename, { "attributes": this.enabled ? settings : {}, "engine_info": this.engineInfo }); Engine.ProfileStop(); }
