noun. Web storage, also known as web browser storage, is a mechanism provided by web browsers that allows web applications to store data locally on the user's device. It provides a way for web applications to store data persistently, across multiple sessions, without the need for server-side storage or database interactions. Web storage comes in two main types: localStorage and sessionStorage.
- localStorage: It allows web applications to store key-value pairs of data indefinitely, until it is manually cleared by the user or the application. The data stored in localStorage is available across multiple browser windows or tabs, giving a consistent experience to the user.
- sessionStorage: It is similar to localStorage, but the data stored in sessionStorage is only accessible within the same browser window or tab. Once the window or tab is closed, the sessionStorage data is cleared.
Both types of web storage are accessible through JavaScript, allowing web applications to read, write, and remove data from the storage. Web storage is commonly used for caching data, storing user preferences, temporarily storing form data, and implementing offline capabilities in web applications. GPT3.5
