"""Saves the features list as JSON to a specified filepath/S3 path, writes to an open file, or
returns the serialized features as a JSON string. If no file provided, returns a string.
Args:
features (list[:class:`.FeatureBase`]): List of Feature definitions.
location (str or :class:`.FileObject`, optional): The location of where to save
the features list which must include the name of the file,
or a writeable file handle to write to. If location is None, will return a JSON string
of the serialized features.
Default: None
profile_name (str, bool): The AWS profile specified to write to S3. Will default to None and search for AWS credentials.
Set to False to use an anonymous profile.
Note:
Features saved in one version of Featuretools are not guaranteed to work in another.
After upgrading Featuretools, features may need to be generated again.
