difference between $cookiestore and $cookies in angularjs

Question

What is the difference between $cookiestore and $cookies in angularjs.

I saw the angularjs document.

$cookiestore and $cookies are doing same think, but the only difference is

$cookiestore- can objects put or retrieved from this storage are automatically serialized or deserialized by angular's toJson/fromJson .but $cookies- can't do this

Is the only one difference? or anything else?

I would look into this more, but the docs say: "Deprecated: (since v1.4.0) Please use the $cookies service instead." so it seems kind of moot. docs.angularjs.org/api/ngCookies/service/$cookieStore – Valera

I think the description of each in the documentation makes it quite clear:

$cookie just gives you access to cookies same as if you did by some other method.

$cookieStore uses cookies to make a key/value storage solution for you.

So if you are starting something new and want to persist key/value pairs use $cookieStore

If you want to use existing cookie solution - say read/write cookies from your existing server session system then use $cookie.
