JQuery plugin for html 5 local storage?

Question

Are there any good jquery plugins for using html 5 local storage?

I think your question could be easily answered with a quick google search. — TheHippo, Apr 21 '13 at 20:00
I think this is a valid question, as it invites recommendations and a chance for people to supply their experience with various plugins. — David Robbins, Oct 02 '13 at 20:30

There's no need for plugins here, since you can access it very quickly:

localStorage.setItem("key", "value");
var value = localStorage.getItem("key");

That's not to say someone won't make plugins in the future (but how would you do cross-browser support? either there's local storage or there isn't). But you don't need to wait on a plugin for anything here, you can start using it (provided the browser supports it) today.

Just check if localStorage is available. – Marcel Korpel Nov 13 '10 at 01:05

I had assumed that a jquery plugin would support backward compatibility. No? Does jquery automatically add that for older browsers without localStorage support? – Shanimal May 10 '12 at 15:05
A plugin would be useful to handle non-string data types, like objects. – jbyrd Jan 22 '16 at 16:27

jStorage is good. It makes use of HTML5 local storage if available — and it even works with IE6
