Someone and/or maybe me to suggested a storage library before, mainly refactor out the functions manipulating the objects. If these functions have been refactored out I guessed these functions would formed a librari to make develompent simpler but there may of course also exist more than one implementation of this library. I am still guessing because I did not get enough time to read the source code yet.
