Worklight JSONStore or SQLite to store password?

I want to store passwords in a database in a Worklight application. What is the difference of JSONStore and SQLite as both can be used to store data?

Solution

  • JSONStore provides encryption for all the data stored inside, just use usePassword before calling initCollection. Make sure the password used to decrypt/access the contents of JSONStore is not hardcoded. Ideally just prompt the user for a password and if they fail to login a couple of times destroy the contents of JSONStore with destroy. SQLite out of the box won't allow you to encrypt all the data stored, JSONStore will.
