    SessionStorage and LocalStorage is client storage solutions. localStorage and sessionStorage both can be cleared by user and can easily read by user . You should not rely on these and should not store sensitive data into localStorage and sessionStorage its easily readable by user. Its good when data needed within client scripts between pages (for example: preferences, menus, last login, last page view).

    sessionStorage, localStorage and Cookies all are used to store data on the client side. Each one has its own storage and expiration limit. sessionStorage: similar to localStorage but expires when the browser closed (not the tab). Cookie: stores data that has to be sent back to the server with subsequent requests.Annax Technologies

    localStorage and sessionStorage both extend Storage. There is no difference between them except for the intended "non-persistence" of sessionStorage.
    That is, the data stored in localStorage persists until explicitly deleted. Changes made are saved and available for all current and future visits to the site.
    For sessionStorage, changes are only available per window (or tab in browsers like Chrome and Firefox). Changes made are saved and available for the current page, as well as future visits to the site on the same window. Once the window is closed, the storage is deleted.

    Session storage and local storage are storage mechanism which uses client system for storing data. These are temporary means of storing data and can be cleared by user

    Session storage is last as long as browser is open i.e it is removed when browser is closed. If data is to be stored even after closing of browser then local storage is preferred. In local storage data is not deleted until it is deleted by user. If some changes are made in local storage then it will be reflected in current and future visits but the changes of session storage lasts only till the browser is open.

    SessionStorage - The sessionStorage object is use to store data into client browser. sessionStorage is only available for the duration of the browser session and is deleted when the window is closed. sessionStorage depend upon session of a page. Page session maintain till user not open new tab or window or not reloads page.

    LocalStorage -localStorage object is also store information into clients browser. The main difference is that localStorage has no expiration time. localStorage data persist till user not clear data or reset browser. Means user clear data from browser.

    Session storage and local storage are basically two types of web storage. The main difference is that the local storage persists over different tabs or windows, and even if we close the browser, accordingly with the domain security policy and user choices about quota limit.

    Session storage will generally allow you to store any primitives or objects supported by your Server side language/framework. Session storage is only available for the duration of the browser session (and is deleted when the tab or window is closed) - it does however survive page reloads.
