Description Will Smythe CLA 2011-06-25 21:35:52 EDT
In early 2011, we delivered an EGL library for HTML5 that included support for local/session storage within the browser. We should consider supporting GET, ADD, and other appropriate EGL data access statements to allow "native" (i.e. via EGL statements) access of browser storage. Example:

record MyRecord type KeyedRecord { key = id }
  id String;
  firstName String;
  lastName String;
end


...

rec1 MyRecord { id = "12", firstName = "Will" };
add rec1;

..

get rec1;
writestdout(rec1.firstName);
