Js Cookie
js-cookie is a lightweight JavaScript library and browser storage interface used to create, read, and delete cookies. It provides a programmatic API for managing client-side data persistence and maintaining browser state across page refreshes.
The library includes capabilities for custom cookie encoding and the use of custom value converters to handle specific character formats. It also features a global attribute configuration system that allows default expiration, security, and scope rules to be applied automatically to all cookie operations.
The tool covers general cookie management including data retrieval, precise deletion by path and domain, and expiration control via dates or numerical durations. It handles data serialization using URI encoding to ensure special characters are stored safely.
