Hi all,
As we decided to our IRC meeting last week, Ive wrote a first draft
proposal for the JavaScript DataStore interface [1].
Basically the interface just match the DataStore existing interface.
The main issue is related to the concept of "file":
- File is at the heart of the DataStore concept: the DataStore is
nothing else than a place to store files and metadata related to files,
- But: file handling is not a common practice in JavaScript!
The good news is that HTML5 comes with few File system and Files handling
functions [2][3].
I didnt test it but it should work on WebKit.
Do not hesitate to comment/update.
