WebStorage vs save/load - which is best for me

I'm making a simple platformer with a level select screen (think angry birds etc - finishing one level will unlock the next. I followed this excellent tutorial: https://www.scirra.com/tutorials/311/level-select).

So when the user closes the browser, I want the level progress to be saved. I've seen tutorials about web storage in C2, and have implemented this for a single variable. But I actually want to save an array, because I want to save whether the user got 1/2/3 stars on each level.

So I looked into saving arrays into web storage, and found this example: http://www.jargogle.co.uk/test/ArraySavingLoading/ (thread here) ...which seems a bit complicated.

I also discovered the save/load feature in C2. Should I be using that instead? Or is it overkill for my simple game?

Are there any benefits & differences between using webstorage vs save/load?

Saving an array to webstorage is easy. Just set the webstorage value to Array.AsJson. For an example see my post on the second page of that thread you linked ;)

OMG that's a much simpler solution - thanks so much ramones, I'm in your debt!

I've just tried this on my project and it works perfectly :-)

Just a comment on your question about the difference.

The difference is that save/load saves the entire state of your game, but webstorage only saves what you tell it to.
