Well, you can always take your datastructure, convert it to string using JSON.stringify(...) and store that in a single variable using localStorage. Then, when you need the data, get the string from localStorage and convert it back to your datastructure using JSON.parse(...).
Search for JSON to see example usage from our RSS extension sample: http://src.chromium.org/viewvc/chrome/trunk/src/chrome/test/data/extensions/subscribe_page_action/subscribe.js?revision=32036 There are also some reference pages on the internet on how to use the JSON object if the sample doesn't make it clear. --Finnur On Tue, Nov 24, 2009 at 19:00, Rlcrock <rlcr...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am new to developing extensions, and I am confused on how > localStorage works, and if I even need to use it.
