Dexie.js is a minimalistic, high-performance TypeScript wrapper library for IndexedDB, the standard database built into browsers. It provides a friendly query API, works across web, Electron, Capacitor, and React Native, and offers an optional Dexie Cloud add-on for sync, auth, and real-time collaboration.

Use cases

• store data offline in a browser app
• query IndexedDB without writing low-level code
• build a PWA with local-first storage
• add client-side persistence to a React or Vue app
• sync local browser data across devices
• build a desktop app with local database in Electron
• cache API responses for offline use

When to choose

• you need structured client-side storage in the browser with a clean query API
• you want offline-first or PWA functionality without a backend
• you need a battle-tested IndexedDB library that works across browsers and frameworks
• you want optional real-time sync and auth via Dexie Cloud

When to avoid

• you need a server-side database or SQL queries
• your data lives primarily on a backend and you only need simple key-value caching
• you require relational joins and complex transactions beyond IndexedDB's model
• you need a native mobile database like SQLite rather than browser storage
