cookie最大的缺陷是在每一次HTTP请求中都会携带所有符合规则的cookie数据.这会增加请求响应时间,特别是XHR请求. 在HTML5中使用sessionStoragelocalStorage代替cookie是更好的做法.

这另种方法可以将数据永久或者以session时间存储在用户本地.数据不会随着HTTP请求传递.所以我们优先使用web storage,仅仅使用cookie作为替代方案.

// if localStorage is present, use that
if (('localStorage' in window) && window.localStorage !== null) {

  // easy object property API
  localStorage.wishlist = '["unicorn", "Narwhal", "deathbear"]';

} else {

  // without sessionStorage we'll have to use a far-future cookie
  // with document.cookie's awkward API
  var date = new Date();
  date.setTime(date.getTime() + (365 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
  var expires = date.toGMTString();
  var cookiestr = 'wishlist=["unicorn", "Narwhal", "deathbear"];' +
                  ' expires=' + expires + '; path=/';
  document.cookie = cookiestr;
}
