/**
* A safe interface to HTML5 `localStorage` and `sessionStorage`.
*
* This normalises differences across browsers and silences any and all
* exceptions that may occur.
*
* **Note**: Storage keys are not automatically prefixed in relation to
* MediaWiki and/or the current wiki. Always **prefix your keys** with "mw" to
* avoid conflicts with gadgets, JavaScript libraries, browser extensions,
* internal CDN or webserver cookies, and third-party applications that may
* be embedded on the page.
*
* **Warning**: This API has limited storage space and does not use an expiry
* by default. This means unused **keys are stored forever**, unless you
* opt-in to the `expiry` parameter or otherwise make sure that your code
* can rediscover and delete keys you created in the past.
*
* If you don't use the `expiry` parameter, avoid keys with variable
* components as this leads to untracked keys that your code has no way
* to know about and delete when the data is no longer needed. Instead,
* store dynamic values in an object under a single constant key that you
* manage or replace over time.
* See also T121646.
*
* @example mw.storage.set( key, value, expiry );
* mw.storage.set( key, value ); // stored indefinitely
* mw.storage.get( key );
*
* @example var local = require( 'mediawiki.storage' ).local;
* local.set( key, value, expiry );
* local.get( key );
*
* @example mw.storage.session.set( key, value );
* mw.storage.session.get( key );
*
* @example var session = require( 'mediawiki.storage' ).session;
* session.set( key, value );
* session.get( key );
*
* @module mediawiki.storage
