Web Browser Storage

Local Storage

  • Limited in terms of storage capacity and its ability to store only string-based data.

  • Well-suited for storing smaller amounts of data that need to be shared among different tabs or windows of the same website or application.

  • Commonly used in token storage, user preferences storage

IndexDB

  • More suitable for storing larger amounts of structured data and offers a more advanced data model with features like indexes and asynchronous operations.

  • It provides a robust solution for managing and querying large datasets, making it a good choice for applications that require complex data storage and retrieval.

  • Commonly used in offline task feature, shopping cart, etc

  • The storage operation is async in javascript which will not block the DOM manipulation
