HTML DOM Window localStorage Properties allow you to store value pairs in web browsers using objects. It is a read-only
property. This object is not expired even if the browser is closed. So, the data is never lost.
Return Values: It returns a Storage object.
Syntax:
-
SAVING data to localStorage using:
localStorage.setItem("key", "value"); -
READING data from localStorage using:
var name = localStorage.getItem("key"); -
REMOVING data from localStorage using:
localStorage.removeItem("key");
