Talk:Greasemonkey Manual:API

GM_getObject/GM_setObject

I think these two additional functions might be handy:

function GM_getObject( name, default )
function GM_setObject( name, value )

Implementation:

function GM_getObject(name, defaultValue) {	var s = GM_getValue(name);	if (s === undefined) {	return defaultValue;	}	else {	return JSON.parse(s);	} } function GM_setObject(name, value) {	GM_setValue(name, JSON.stringify(value)); } 

It is the general policy of Greasemonkey to not implement a special API just to build something that a user script can easily do on its own. Something like this is a perfect candidate for a reusable component in the Category:@require Library. Arantius 12:55, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
