Move V8 Context from one Isolate to another

[Ivan P.]

Does anybody know - is there an easy way to move some v8::Conext that belongs to some v8::Isolate to another v8::Isolate, preserving complete current state? 

Or at least make its copy/clone in the another v8::Isolate.

A context is too deeply entangled into the isolate it belongs to, so moving the context but not the isolate is basically impossible with the current V8.

What about making copy/clone of context?

What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this?

Copying a context would be a huge operation, if it's possible at all (I don't think it is).

You are almost certainly better off encapsulating the state you want in JSON or through some API you come up with yourself, and then loading that in a new context.

Thank you for the good idea. This approach with JSON sounds like what I need to accomplish my task.
