JSON & LocalStorage

Hey guys.

Just wondering if anyone knows whether LocalStorage can store JSON data. I've got data that has nested objects but when I parse it out using JSON.parse(data) it does not include the nested objects.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers.

Hey Cameron,

Do any of the missing objects contain functions declarations, or undefined placeholder properties? JSON.stringify() will drop any child properties that are set to undefined or a function declartion.

It turns out that my promise had not resolved quick enough so the child object never stored into localstorage. Thanks for the help anyways Sean Ahern.
