'''@Aavindraa''' Consider where to put in a brief blurb about XPathResult in this page please... this is also part of the API and because this is now the main entrance to anything API related, it should be mentioned rather than having someone go hunt for it via the GM Manual TOC on the far right under environment.

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)
