See our detailed guide through the most important and common cases of local storage usage.
Local storage javascript is a file format used by web browsers / as a way of long-term data storage
Localstorage files perform functions similar to cookies, although their specification defines a wider set of functions. The data stored in the local storage file will not be deleted when the browser is closed. Such data is stored on the user's computer and the server cannot access it automatically. The localstorage file can be accessed using JavaScript or Flash, but only through the domain where the localstorage file was created.
Local storage files are usually larger than cookies
In JavaScript, localStorage and sessionStorage are attributes of the window object, so we can refer to them directly in our code. They are more intuitive to use than cookies. This example only shows localStorage as it is the same as sessionStorage. The value is set using the setItem () method. In the development tool, localStorage data can be found in the Local Storage tab, and sessionStorage can be found in the Session Memory tab. We use the getItem () method to get the data. Unlike cookies, we can download individual values.
