Results

Remarks

This method is similar to Binary.set() but instead of storing a string in the binary object - it stores an entire object. This builds on the concept of meta data by allowing an arbitrarily complex object to be serialised, stored in a binary object and subsequently recreated. In this case the recreation is implemented by the Binary.toObj() method.

In keeping with the meta-data concept generally the object can be anything represented in JavaScript - from simple string to complex structures and arrays of structures.
