Web Developer & Designer Interview Question:

Explain me what is the use of local storage in HTML5?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Before the coming of HTML5, the local storage was used to be associated with cookies. Cookies was not really beneficial for usages that include a large amount of data. This was passed on from server to server and hence resulted in very slow and ineffective website performance. This is not the same case in HTML5 as data is not passed in every subsequent server and is used only when asked.

Hence, it can be possible to store large amounts of data by itself and still do not affect the website's performance. Such data is stored in different areas of the website and the website can access most of the data stored by itself.
