- string-based
- normally have 5 megabytes of space in a browser. However, 1 character does not equal to 1 byte in web character encoding.
- sessionStorage
- API is used exactly the same way as localStorage (see below for demo)
- Refers to browser tab session, not user sessions
- Data live forever as long as the tab is not being closed
- Data is not shared across browser window/tab
- in-private browsing:
- localStorage will act like sessionStorage
- Safari won’t store any data at all in private mode
