Access contract storage from chaindata

Question

I am trying to understand how to retrieve the complete storage of a contract based on chaindata (e.g. geth) of a full node.

I have already found how to programmatically access the chaindata (which is basically a levelDB) and the special trie structure:

Is this the way to go to get the contract storage?

What exactly are you trying to achieve? Dump the complete storage or lookup single slots? — ivicaa, Commented Mar 29, 2018 at 10:44
Thanks for the reply. I would like to dump the "used" storage :) And therefore to access mappings and struct values (of contracts), which are not stored linearly in the storage space (but keccak is involved to identify the memory location) — mateuszk87, Commented Mar 29, 2018 at 12:59

Dumping storage is possible

Refer to the functionality of geth dump
