About
IndexedDB is a transactional NoSQL database system for the persistent storage of structured data inside a user's browser.
Web Storage is a browser API that provides client-side key-value storage for websites, allowing data to be stored directly in a user's web browser.
It stores data as strings associated with a website's origin, offers significantly larger storage capacity than cookies, and consists of the localStorage and sessionStorage interfaces.
