如何使用JSzip替换zip文件中的内容？

Question

I have been working on a project, I download a zip file from internet through XMLHttpRequest (type: blob ) and then I try to read its content using JSzip.So every zip has a json which I am interested in say manifest.json. So I was successful to read it with this code.

var read_zip = new JSZip();
res=xhr.response;
read_zip.loadAsync(xhr.response).then(function (zip) {
return zip.file("manifest.json").async("string");
}).then(function (text) {
obj = JSON.parse(text);
console.log(text);});

after this I made some changes to 'obj', Now I want to replace the existing manifest with this modified 'obj' json contents and save it. I was trying this code

 var write_zip = new JSZip();
 write_zip.loadAsync(xhr.response).then(function (zip) {
 zip.file("manifest.json" , obj) ;
 zip.generateAsync({type:"blob"})
 .then(function (blob) {
 saveAs(blob, "hello.zip");
 });});

but I am getting this error

 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Can't read the data of 'manifest.json'. 
 Is it in a supported JavaScript type (String, Blob, ArrayBuffer, etc) 
 ?

sorry, I am new to this.

It looks like you're trying to write an object into zip which is not supported. According to the documentation on JsZip the value to be written needs to be of type:

String/ArrayBuffer/Uint8Array/Buffer/Blob/Promise/Nodejs stream

See: JSZip#file(name, data [,options])
