Lawnchair: Client Side JSON Document Store

At first blush, this project is very exciting.

Persistent objects through JSON. No muss, no fuss. Lawnchair indeed!

[edit: Here is the github source directly: http://github.com/brianleroux/lawnchair ]

This project does provide a very nice API and I think it can be very useful in some circumstances. However, I think client side storage is not as important as server storage. After all, a client can have many "client sides" and the appeal of storing stuff on the server is that all of them can be stateless and synchronized. I can see myself using this as a very nice cache mechanism for intermediate data, but the permanent storage would stay on the server.

Interesting.

What about persistence between browser sessions? I couldn't see anything on the page about this.

nice idea, I am a JSON junkie but I tend to leave it at the transport layer

Promising. Anyone care to summarize query capabilities?
