What are the differences between sessionStorage and localStorage in Vue.js?

Can you explain the differences between sessionStorage and localStorage in Vue.js?

Sure! Both sessionStorage and localStorage are part of the Web Storage API, but they serve different purposes. sessionStorage is limited to the duration of the page session, meaning data is lost when the tab is closed. In contrast, localStorage persists even after the browser is closed and reopened.

When should I use sessionStorage over localStorage?

You should use sessionStorage when you need to store data temporarily for a single session, like user input in a form. Use localStorage for data that should persist across sessions, like user preferences.

Are there any size limitations for these storage options?

Yes, both sessionStorage and localStorage typically have a size limit of about 5-10MB, depending on the browser. It's important to check the specific limits for the browsers you are targeting.

Can I store objects in sessionStorage or localStorage?

Yes, you can store objects, but you need to serialize them to a string format using JSON.stringify() before storing, and then parse them back with JSON.parse() when retrieving.
