Best way to keep temp data for multiple AJAX requests within 1 page in ASP .NET MVC 3?

Question

I have some really complex ASP .NET MVC 3 page where I need to create multilevel hierarchy data.

(This data also includes download file names.)

Is there any best way to keep temp data for multiple AJAX requests in ASP .NET MVC 3 within 1 page?

Thank you!!!

Here are a couple of options:

1- use Session storage

2- Use TempData.Peek instead. This method reads the data but does not mark it for deletion

Without more details you're looking at

1) MVC Session Object - a solid solution, but keep an eye object size

2) A hidden control (e.g. textbox/textarea) - easy to implement but may not be practical depending on the structure/type of data you're dealing with

3) JQuery Cache - easy and all client side
