## What it is
A localStorage adapter for Backbone.js that replaces Backbone.sync to persist models and collections in the browser's localStorage instead of a server. It supports ES6 modules and allows switching back to AJAX sync per request via an ajaxSync flag.

## Use cases
- persist backbone models in the browser without a backend
- build offline-capable backbone apps with local storage
- prototype backbone apps without setting up a server
- cache backbone collection data client-side
- switch between local storage and server sync per request

## When to choose
- you use Backbone.js and need client-side persistence
- you want offline-first or demo apps without a backend
- you need a drop-in replacement for Backbone.sync

## When to avoid
- you use modern frameworks like React or Vue instead of Backbone
- you need large or structured storage beyond localStorage limits
- you need server-side persistence only

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: caching, serialization, middleware
- domain: frontend, web-development, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: backbone, localstorage, offline-storage, persistence-adapter, nodejs
