Understanding Local Storage & This Tool
What is Local Storage?
Local Storage is a feature in web browsers that allows websites to store data (key-value pairs) directly in your browser. This data persists even after you close the browser or tab, and it's specific to the website (domain) that stored it.
Key:
Think of a key as a unique name or identifier for a piece of data. Each key in Local Storage must be unique for this website. For example, username or userSettings.
Value:
This is the actual information you want to store. It's always stored as a string. If you store a number or an object, it will be converted to a string. This tool helps you manage these string values. For example, if the key is username, the value might be "JohnDoe".
Category:
This is an optional label you can add to your data entries using this tool. It helps you group related items together for better organization. The category itself is also stored in Local Storage, linked to the main key.
Important Notes:
- Storage Limit: Local Storage typically has a limit of around 5-10MB per domain, depending on the browser.
- Strings Only: All data is stored as strings. Complex data like objects or arrays will be converted to JSON strings by many applications (this tool stores values as you enter them).
- Domain Specific: Data stored by one website (e.g.,
site-a.com) cannot be accessed by another website (e.g.,site-b.com). - Persistence: Data remains until explicitly cleared by the website, by you through browser settings, or by using the "Clear All" button in this tool.
- Security: Local Storage is not inherently secure for sensitive information like passwords or private keys, as it can be accessed by any JavaScript running on the page.
