localForage is a JavaScript storage library that wraps IndexedDB, WebSQL, or localStorage behind a simple localStorage-like async API. It improves offline data persistence in web apps with automatic driver fallback.
Use cases
- store data offline in a web app
- use indexeddb with a simple localStorage-like api
- persist user data in the browser
- cache app data for offline use
- async key-value storage in javascript
When to choose
- you need offline storage in the browser with broad fallback support
- you want a localStorage-like API but with async, larger-capacity storage
When to avoid
- you need a full database with queries and relations
- you only target modern browsers and prefer the native IndexedDB API
