Lawnchair is a lightweight clientside JSON document store for JavaScript, providing simple key/document persistence in the browser. It abstracts over various storage backends with a minimal, pluggable API.

Use cases

  • store documents in the browser
  • persist app data client-side without a server
  • simple key-value storage for a web app
  • offline storage for mobile web apps
  • cache data locally in javascript

When to choose

  • you need a tiny, dependency-free client-side JSON store for a legacy or simple web project
  • you want a pluggable abstraction over browser storage backends

When to avoid

  • starting a new modern project - use IndexedDB wrappers like Dexie, localForage, or the native Storage APIs instead
  • you need querying, indexing, or relational features
  • you need actively maintained software with security updates
