I am using localStorage in a project, and it will need to store lots of data, mostly of type int, bool and string. I know that javascript strings are unicode, but when stored in localStorage, do they stay unicode? If so, is there a way I could compress the string to use all of the data in a unicode byte, or should i just use base64 and have less compression? All of the data will be stored as one large string.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, base64 wouldn't do much compression at all, the data is already in base 64, a-zA-Z0-9 ;: is 65 characters.
