Possible Duplicate:
Is localStorage.getItem(‘item’) better than localStorage.item or localStorage[‘item’]?

While learning about localStorage, I noted that it was possible to set and retrieve values from localStorage using array-accessor notation. I haven't been able to find anything super conclusive on whether it is bad or acceptable practice to use localStorage in this manner.

var foo = localStorage.getItem('Foo');

OR

var foo = localStorage['Foo'];

Similarly,

localStorage.setItem('Foo', foo);

OR

localStorage['Foo'] = foo;

Any gotchas? Or am I free to use the shorter syntax?
