Basil.js is a JavaScript library providing a unified API over localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies, and in-memory storage. It automatically selects the best available storage mechanism and gracefully handles disabled cookies, full storage, and other native exceptions.

Use cases

• persist user preferences in the browser with automatic storage fallback
• store JavaScript objects client-side without manual JSON serialization
• handle browsers where cookies or localStorage are disabled
• namespace and manage client-side key-value data
• wrap cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage behind one API

When to choose

• you need resilient client-side persistence that survives storage failures
• you want one API across cookies, localStorage, and sessionStorage
• you need namespaced storage with per-key storage selection

When to avoid

• you need server-side or cross-device persistence
• you only target modern browsers and prefer the native Storage API directly
• you need large-scale structured storage like IndexedDB
