localStorage - stores data with no expiration date. window. sessionStorage - stores data for one session (data is lost when the browser tab is closed)
For most cases, we use the localStorage object if we want some data to be on the browser. If we want it on the server, then we use cookies, and the sessionStorage is used when we want to destroy the data whenever that specific tab gets closed or the season is closed by the user.
The local storage is a type of HTML5 offline storage that allows user string data to be saved synchronously in their browser. Information is kept in name and value pairs and not available between different browsers on the same device. Local storage can be used as an alternative to cookies.
HTML5 web storage is a generic umbrella term for the new client-side data storage options.
Local Storage is persistent and scoped to the domain. At the moment two flavors are usually mentioned:
Session Storage is non persistent and scoped only to the current window.
Cookies are the old school way of doing all of the above. Stores name/value pairs per domain.
