Abstract
Described is a mechanism for persisting state across navigations in a navigation-based application so that the state is accessible by each resource of a app. The invention provides an object (a “NavigationApplication object”) that persists across navigations. The NavigationApplication object allows developers to directly persist state by setting properties on that object and to trap navigation events. Enabling run-time state to be persisted in object form on the client not only improves performance, but makes it possible to develop navigation-based applications that can be run either online or offline. The NavigationApplication object makes it easier to persist state on the client across navigations.
