SessionStorage is used for storing data on the client side. Maximum limit of data saving in SessionStorage is about 5 MB. Data in the SessionStorage exist till the current tab is open if we close the current tab then our data will also erase automatically from the SessionStorage.
Session storage — The session storage uses the sessionStorage object to store data on a temporary basis, for a single browser window or tab. The data disappears when session ends i.e. when the user closes that browser window or tab.
