This is a simple library that emulates memcache functions using HTML5 localStorage, so that you can cache data on the client
and associate an expiration time with each piece of data. If the localStorage limit (~5MB) is exceeded, it tries to create space by removing the items that are closest to expiring anyway. If localStorage is not available at all in the browser, the library degrades by simply not caching and all cache requests return null.
This is a fork of the original library, which is at: https://github.com/pamelafox/lscache This forked branch fixes an IE8 bug (checks for the correct storage exception error name in IE8) and ensures that room is made in the cache to store expiration tracking entries. This version also removes the JSON.parse() call from the getter, leaving the parsing to the consuming function.
The lscache library should work in all browsers where localStorage is supported.
