interface File exposes [ReadErr, WriteErr, write, writeUtf8, writeBytes, readUtf8, readBytes] imports [Effect, Task.{ Task }, InternalTask, InternalFile, Path.{ Path }, InternalPath] ReadErr : InternalFile.ReadErr WriteErr : InternalFile.WriteErr ## For example, suppose you have a [JSON](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSON) ## `EncodingFormat` named `Json.toCompactUtf8`.
