title: 'Output File and Format'
weight: 10
---
The output file and format are specified in the configuration object of your scraping script. They determine where the scraped data will be saved and in what format.
## Output File
The output file is the file where the scraped data will be saved. If not specified, the data will be printed to the standard output (stdout).
```javascript {filename="Configuration"}
export const config = {
output: {
// Specify the output file.
file: "results.json",
},
};
```
In the above example, the scraped data will be saved in a file named `results.json`.
## Output Format
The output format is the format in which the scraped data will be saved. The options are `json` and `ndjson`.
```javascript {filename="Configuration"}
export const config = {
output: {
// Specify the output format.
format: "json",
},
};
```
In the above example, the scraped data will be saved in JSON format.
```javascript {filename="Configuration"}
export const config = {
output: {
// Specify the output format.
format: "ndjson",
},
};
```
In this example, the scraped data will be saved in newline-delimited JSON (NDJSON) format. Each line in the output file will be a separate JSON object.
