- Methods and protocols for storing client-side data. Web storage supports persistent data storage, similar to cookies but with a greatly enhanced capacity and no information stored in the HTTP request header.

Web storage is standardized by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the WHATWG. ← Wikipedia
