 Manage all your cookies and sub-cookies with Cookie.js. Cookie.js is a stand-alone script and does NOT require additional libraries (jQuery, YUI, etc.) to operate.

 Usage
 -----
 
-`<script type="text/javascript" src="Cookie.min.js"></script>`
+Add [Cookie.min.js](https://raw.github.com/jonlabelle/cookie-js/master/Cookie.min.js) to your HTML document.
 
+```html
+<script type="text/javascript" src="Cookie.min.js"></script>
+```
 
-Creating cookies
-----------------
+Cookie.set()
+------------
+
+Create a cookie using the default options
 
-### Create a cookie with default options
+```javascript
+Cookie.set("firstname", "jon");
+```
 
-`Cookie.set("firstname", "jon");`
+You can also set multiple cookies at once (chaining)
 
-Adds a cookie named *firstname* with a value of *jon*, that expires when the session ends.
+```javascript
+Cookie.set("firstname", "jon").set("id", "1234");
+```
 
-### Set the expires option
+#### Set the *expires* option
 
-`Cookie.set("firstname", "jon", {
+```javascript
+Cookie.set("firstname", "jon", {
   expires: new Date("March 18, 2040")
-});`
+});
+```
 
-`Cookie.set("firstname", "jon", { 
+```javascript
+Cookie.set("firstname", "jon", {
   expires: 30 // expires in 30-days
-});`
+});
+```
 
-The `expires` option can be a `Date` or a `Number` value.
+The `expires` option can be a `Date` or a `Number` value type. If the `expires` option is NOT set, it will be a *session* cookie (expiring when the session ends).
 
-### Set the path and domain options
+#### Set the *path* and *domain* options
 
-`Cookie.set("firstname", "jon", {
+```javascript
+Cookie.set("firstname", "jon", {
   path: "/",
   domain: ".jonlabelle.com"
-});`
+});
+```
 
-### Set the secure option
+#### Set the *secure* option
 
-`Cookie.set("secure_name", "jon", {
+```javascript
+Cookie.set("secure_name", "jon", {
   secure: true
-});`
+});
+```
 
 Setting the `secure` option to `true` ensures the cookie is always encrypted when transmitting from client to server.
 
+Cookie.get()
+------------
 
-Reading cookies
----------------
-
-`Cookie.get("firstname");`
+```javascript
+Cookie.get("firstname");
+```
 
 Returns `null` if the cookie does NOT exist.
 
-### Cookie exists
+#### Cookie exists
 
-`if (Cookie.exists("firstname")) {
+```javascript
+if (Cookie.exists("firstname")) {
   console.log('firstname cookie exists!');
-}`
+}
+```
 
 Returns `bool`, `true` if exists, `false` if the cookie does not exist.
 
-### Read cookie and type
-
-The returned cookie value will be a number if the cookie exists (it will still be null if the cookie doesn't exist). Other native functions that convert values are Boolean() and Date, or you can define your own conversion `function`.
+#### Read cookie and type
 
-`var value = Cookie.get("age", Number);`
+The returned cookie value will be a number if the cookie exists (it will still be null if the cookie doesn't exist). Other native functions that convert values are `Boolean` and `Date`, or you can define your own conversion `function`.
 
-`console.log(value); // outputs 34 `
+```javascript
+Cookie.set("age", 34);
 
-Custom conversion function:
+var value = Cookie.get("age", Number);
 
-`var value = Cookie.get("code", function (stringValue) {
-  return parseInt(stringValue, 16); // create a number from a hexadecimal code
-});`
+if (typeof (value) === "number") {
+  console.log(value); // outputs 34
+}
+```
 
+Using a custom conversion function:
 
-Deleting cookies
-----------------
+```javascript
+var value = Cookie.get("code", function (stringValue) {
+  return parseInt(stringValue, 16); // create a number from a hexadecimal code
+});
+```
 
-### Delete the cookie named *code*.
+Cookie.remove()
+---------------
 
-`Cookie.remove("code");`
+Delete the cookie named *code*
 
-### Delete the cookie named *info* on the *jonlabelle.com* domain
+```javascript
+Cookie.remove("code");
+```
 
-`Cookie.remove("info", {
+Delete the cookie named *info* on the *jonlabelle.com* domain
+
+```javascript
+Cookie.remove("info", {
   domain: "jonlabelle.com"
-});`
+});
+```
 
-### Delete the secure cookie named *username*
+Delete a *secure* cookie
 
-`Cookie.remove("username", {
+```javascript
+Cookie.remove("username", {
   secure: true
-});`
+});
+```
 
-### Delete multiple cookies at the same time
+Delete multiple cookies at the same time
 
-`Cookie.remove("username").remove("ident");`
+```javascript
+Cookie.remove("username").remove("ident");
+```
 
+Cookie.setSub()
+---------------
 
-Creating sub-cookies
---------------------
+```javascript
+Cookie.setSub("ident", "firstname", "jon");
+```
 
-`Cookie.setSub("ident", "firstname", "jon");`
+```javascript
+Cookie.setSub("ident", "lastname", "labelle");
+```
 
-`Cookie.setSub("ident", "lastname", "labelle");`
-
-### Setting sub-cookie options
+#### Set sub-cookie options
 
-`Cookie.setSub("ident", "age", 22, {
+```javascript
+Cookie.setSub("ident", "age", 22, {
   domain: "jonlabelle.com"
-});`
+});
+```
 
-`Cookie.setSub("ident", "firstname", "ace123", {
+```javascript
+Cookie.setSub("ident", "firstname", "ace123", {
   secure: true
-});`
+});
+```
 
-### Setting sub-cookie options with an object
+#### Set sub-cookie values with an *object*
 
-`var subCookieData = {
+```javascript
+var subCookieData = {
   firstname: "jon",
   lastname: 'labelle',
   age: 34,
   ip: ::1
-};`
-
-`Cookie.setSubs("ident", subCookieData);`
-
-*IMPORTANT*: Calls to `setSubs()` will always completely overwrite the cookie.
+};
+```
 
+```javascript
+Cookie.setSubs("ident", subCookieData);
+```
 
-Reading sub-cookies
--------------------
+NOTE: Calls to `Cookie.setSubs()` will always completely overwrite the cookie.
 
-`var fname = Cookie.getSub("indent", "firstname");`
+Cookie.getSubs()
+----------------
 
-### Get a sub-cookie and convert to number
+```javascript
+Cookie.getSub("indent", "firstname");
+```
 
-`var nValue = Cookie.getSub("ident", "age", Number);`
+Get a sub-cookie value and convert it to `Number` value type.
 
-### Get all sub-cookie data
+```javascript
+Cookie.getSub("ident", "age", Number);
+```
 
-`var subCookieData = Cookie.getSubs("indent");`
+Get sub-cookie data as object
 
-`var subCookieDataVal = subCookieData.subname;`
+```javascript
+var obj = Cookie.getSubs("indent");
 
+if (typeof (obj) === "object") {
+  console.log(obj);
+}
+```
 
-Deleting sub-cookies
---------------------
+Cookie.removeSub()
+------------------
 
-`Cookie.setSub("ident", "age", 22, {
+```javascript
+// set it...
+Cookie.setSub("ident", "age", 22, {
   domain: "jonlabelle.com"
-});`
+});
 
-`Cookie.removeSub("ident", "age", {
