Using jQuery to set/retrieve multiple key/value pairs in one cookie using an array

Question

My goal here is to cut down the number of cookies I'm using to store things like persistent states into a single cookie by setting and retrieving multiple key/value pairs within a single cookie using an array.

I'm mostly interested in knowing if someone else has already done this and has written a plugin for it, as I would think this has been done before.

Answer 1

You could serialize the object into a JSON string. That would make it super simple to re-load the object. See question 191881 for information on how to serialize an object to JSON in JavaScript.
