LOCAL STORAGE
WHAT IS LOCAL STORAGE?
Local storage is a property that allows JavaScript sites
and apps to save key-value pairs in a web browser with
no expiration date. This means the data stored persists
even after the user closes the browser or restarts the
computer.
WHEN TO USE LOCAL STORAGE ?
 Local Storage store user preferences, like language or theme.
 You can also use it to cache data if you use it frequently.
 localStorage can store form data that won't be lost if the user
closes the browser.
 If you have an application that requires you to log in, localStorage
can be used to keep your session data.
METHODS OF LOCAL STORAGE
 setItem(key, value) – store key/value pair.
 getItem(key) – get the value by key.
 removeItem(key) – remove the key with its value.
 clear() – delete everything.
 key(index) – get the key on a given position.
 length – the number of stored items.
ADVANTAGES OF LOCAL STORAGE
 Data security: Users have complete control over their data and storage
infrastructure, which can be important for security and regulatory reasons.
 Offline access: Local storage allows users to access their data offline.

 Local storage is best for information that doesn't need to be very secure and
is not large in size. However, putting too much data into local storage can
slow down a site due to memory consumption.
DISADVANTAGES OF LOCAL
STORAGE
 Not supported by older browsers: Older browsers may not support local
storage.
 Data loss: Local storage can be lost if the user clears their browser data
or if the hardware fails.
 Not accessible by the server: The server can't access local storage.
