jQuery Offline plugin

May 7th, 2010 - Frontend, jQuery

jQuery offline plugin provides a mechanism for retrieving and storing data through JSON on the client side. While the plugin makes use of the HTML5 localStorage API for persistence, the plugin will fall back to making a request to the server each time for browser that don’t support localStorage. The author states that jQuery Offline should be used in conjunction with Rack::Offline for automating the process of generating a cache manifest and jQuery-templ for taking a javascript object and producing the necessary HTML out of it.
