Javascript Vs Local Storage

Question

I am new to HTML5. I want to know about the performance between Javascript Variable/Object and HTML5 Local storage.

Which one is the best in performance and memory wise. Could any one differentiate these two.

P.S. As for as i know, manually we need to clear the local storage where as javascript object automatically will be cleared when the page get refreshed.

Thanks.

Answer 1

That are 2 different things.
HTML 5 Local Storage is used to save bigger data to the client. Sometimes used for making certain parts of websites to work offline.

Javascript variables and Objects are programming code. I think that working with HTML Local Storage to save variables that are only used in JS Code locally is a waste of time and is much to slow for programming purpose.
