Because the only communication between the user code and the workerbox instead is done through messaging, the argument inputs and outputs must all be JSON serializable.
## Caveats
### Storage
Web workers can't use cookies or localStorage, but even if they could they would be isolated to third party domain that is running the code.
However, there are some ways to store data. For example, indexDB.
While your unsafe user code can not access the indexDB of your own site, it can use the instance on the server's site.
But remember, anyone can run untrusted user code on the workerbox site. So if your users store data on the workerbox domain, technically anyone can view that data.
Therefore, you should advise your users not to store any data using the web workers API.
Of course, you could provide an abstraction on the `scope` that would safely allow you to store data on your own domain.
