- HTML5 web storage = generic umbrella term for the new client-side data storage options:
- Web Storage is more secure and faster. The data is not included with every server request, but used ONLY when asked for. It is also possible to store large amounts of data, without affecting the website's performance.
- Local Storage = persistant and scoped to the domain(store data with no expiration date). At the moment two flavors are usually mentioned:
- 'default' = stores things in name/value pairs
- Web SQL (aka Web Database) = uses a SQL database
- Session Storage = non persistent and scoped only to the current window(stores data for one session)
- Cookies = the old school way of doing all of the above. Stores name/value pairs per domain.
