dataset vs regular data methods.

Hey, what's the difference between using

dataset

dataset

and regular data methods such as

setAttribute

setAttribute

? I know there's more to

dataset

dataset

but i can't figure it out.

The only thing i see with

dataset

dataset

is you can list all attribute names and values and have them put in an object but can't you also get attributes with

.attributes

.attributes

and

.getAttribute

.getAttribute

?

And for setting them rather than doing

element.dataset.xyz = "xyz"

element.dataset.xyz = "xyz"

can't you use

setAttribute

setAttribute

?

I'd appreciate any info. Thanks in advance.
