JavaScript LocalStorage
The localStorage object in JavaScript is part of the Web Storage API and allows developers to store key-value pairs in a web browser. The data persists even after the browser is closed and reopened, making it useful for saving user preferences, session information, or small pieces of data locally on the client-side.
Features of LocalStorage
- Persistent Storage: Data remains until explicitly removed.
- Key-Value Storage: Stores data as strings in a key-value format
- Capacity: Stores up to 5-10 MB of data (varies by browser).
Common Use Cases
- Saving user preferences (e.g., theme, language).
- Caching small amounts of data.
- Managing simple application states (e.g., form inputs).
