OpenFL – cross-platform persistent storage (databases)?

[mdr....@gmail.com]

Suppose an haxe+OpenFL app running on "iOS or Android or HTML5" wanted to store information locally for off-line use.  How would this be done?  Tutorials?

Have you looked at CastleDB? Or perhaps you could try Web Storage or Web Database
…not sure how available those are for native-compiled apps.

I am also not sure, but what about: flash.net.SharedObject?
That works for me. But only for config variables, no big database thing.

For local/offline storage you can store your data as JSON files in your assets folder and load them up as needed using the Assets API (via the getText method) and then parsing the text using the JSON API. If you want cloud storage you'll have to either setup you're own database server or use a service.

That sounds very reasonable. I often create an XML file that serves a similar function.
