Can it store binary data(buffer)?

not how it is today, but maybe with some adjustments to how we write/read files

node-persist/src/local-storage.js

Lines 390 to 400 in 84654f9

	writeFile: async function (file, content) {
	return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
	fs.writeFile(file, this.stringify(content), this.options.encoding, async (err) => {
	if (err) {
	return reject(err);
	}
	resolve({file: file, content: content});
	this.log('wrote: ' + file);
	});
	});
	},

	/* Only throw the error if the error is something else other than the file doesn't exist */
	if (err.code === 'ENOENT') {
	this.log(`${file} does not exist, returning undefined value`);

	}
	resolve(input);
