Can a local storage be used for session storage?


Asked by Everlee Waters on Dec 07, 2021 FAQ



All the examples written for local storage can be used for session storage, as shown below. The Browser support for local storage and session storage is shown below. Storage capacity for local storage and session storage varies based on the Browser.
Accordingly,
Local data storage is defined as keeping information on a disk or tape drive which is directly attached to the computer or device. An example of local data storage is a camera's internal memory for pictures.
Thereof, sessionStorage is an attribute of DOM defined in HTML 5. It is used as a global object in JavaScript or as a sub-object of window, or of an instance of window when several one are opened. sessionStorage is an object of type Storage that represents a storage space defined as an attribute of each window.
Moreover,
LocalStorage is a type of web storage that allows Javascript websites and apps to store and access data right in the browser with no expiration date. This means the data stored in the browser will persist even after the browser window has been closed.
Besides,
The Window sessionStorage () property is used for saving key/value pairs in a web browser. It stores the key/value pairs in a browser for only one session and the data expires as soon as a new session is loaded. We can get specified session storage using the getItem () method. We can clear the session storage by using the clear () method.
