Ideally, yes. But I suspect there will never be a one-size-fits all
solution, and so we should probably be clear about what it's
appropriate/intended for (see: prefs today!).
Anyway, I just wanted to see if others have thought about this. Do
others feel it is a concern? If so, can we formulate a plan to address
it? Who would own this?
I'd really like to see a simple, standard way to mirror a JS object
to/from disk. There would barely be any API, it Just Works. EG,
something like:
Cu.import("jsonator2000.jsm");
jsonator.init("myfile.json", onready);
var o;
function onready(aVerySpecialProxyObject) {
o = aVerySpecialProxyObject;
}
...
o.foo = 42;
if (o.flagFromLastSession) { ... }
With a backend that takes care of file creation, error handling,
flushing to disk, doing writes OMT/async, handling writes-on-shutdown,
etc. Maybe toss in optional compression, checksumming, or other goodies.
It's been on my maybe-some-weekend list for a while. :)
