A Node.js library for Electron apps that provides a localStorage-like API to persist and read JSON objects as user settings in the OS application data directory. It works from both main and renderer processes and supports sync and async operations.

Use cases

• persist user settings in an electron app
• save app preferences as files
• read and write config data in electron main process
• store key-value data in userData directory
• replace localStorage with file-based storage in electron
• load settings synchronously in electron renderer

When to choose

• you need a simple localStorage-like JSON persistence layer for Electron
• you want settings stored in the OS userData directory
• you need sync and async read/write APIs

When to avoid

• you need structured or encrypted storage
• you prefer a maintained alternative like electron-store
• you need storage beyond simple JSON key-value files
