Save in Array or Global Variable?

Is there a difference if I save values/stats in an Array or a Global variable.

I find it convenient that I can save multiple values in an Array and save that one Array in Webstorage, over having to save multiple Global variables in Webstorage.

So is there any benefit of one over the other?

Webstorage is depreciated and LocalStorage now seems to be the way forward. One of the differences between the two is that Local storage loads and save values asynchronously (ie each value individually) so storing the values in an array would simplify checking whether all values had been loaded.

As a further possibility:

I save all consistent values to an Object from my "Tools" plugin.

I have modyfied it, but based on:

and json strings.

So you can save all vars in one string whereever you want and load them as easy.
