Right, I meant it's not a JavaScript object. It's serialized into a string in any case, no matter which API you're stuffing it into. So it's a bit of a non-sequitur for the parent to suggest that it's somehow weird to store JSON in a cookie, but not in localStorage. It's all just strings. | ||

I find it weird too. I’ve always considered cookies like very stupid key value stores. It would never occur to me to put something more than a simple token in a cookie. A username, and email address, some opaque thing. The idea of trying to use it for arbitrary strings just seems weird to my intuition, but I don’t really know why. Maybe just because when I was learning about them long ago I don’t remember seeing that in any of the examples. | ||

My point is that there really is no such thing as "truly a JSON object". | ||
