IndexedDB: Explained In One Byte

#frontendchallenge #devchallenge #javascript #webdev

This is a submission for DEV Challenge v24.03.20, One Byte Explainer: Browser API or Feature.

Explainer

IndexedDB

Your browser's secret vault, housing data like a digital squirrel. With its powers, store, retrieve, and query vast amounts of structured data client-side. Think of it as your browser's own little database, where information hides and awaits your command.

Additional Context

IndexedDB is a low-level API for client-side storage of significant amounts of structured data, including files/blobs. It allows web applications to store data in the user's browser, enabling offline functionality and improving performance by reducing server requests.
