Why do you have the desire to pursue such a task? Additionally, keep in mind that localStorage
is essentially an object holding all key-value pairs stored by the browser. To make a copy of it, you would need to iterate through its properties.
It seems like what you are really looking for is a wrapper that can simplify the usage of the localStorage
interface. This way, if in the future you decide to change how your data is stored, you can simply update the wrapper without impacting your existing code. I personally follow this practice as well.
There are numerous libraries available that offer this functionality, each with varying levels of complexity and features. For instance, jStorage allows the use of userData
in Internet Explorer if localStorage
is not supported. On the other hand, my own library Storage.js focuses on wrapping localStorage
while also providing methods for managing multiple items simultaneously.
