I want to store Javascript array as a Cookie

Question

Is it possible , I have a some sort of list and I want to store it on browser , If it is not possible , what is the efficient way of doing this ?

Answer 1

One quick method is to join() your array into a single string, using an appropriate delimiter:

var a = [1, 2, 3, 4];
a.join('|');  // Returns: "1|2|3|4"

Then simply use the string split() method to get the array back from the cookie string.

Answer 2

Serialize it using the JSON notation with some JSON encoder, effectively producing a string like "{name:'myname',age:'myage'}" which you put in a cookie, retrieve when needed and decode back into a JavaScript array.

Search for "javascript json" on Google.
