What are some examples of using the Web Storage API?

The Web Storage API allows you to store data in the browser. For example, you can use localStorage to save user preferences.

Can you give me a code snippet for saving data using localStorage?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

localStorage.setItem('username', 'JohnDoe');

How can I retrieve that data later?

You can retrieve it using:

const username = localStorage.getItem('username');
console.log(username); // Outputs: JohnDoe

What about sessionStorage? How is it different?

sessionStorage is similar to localStorage, but it only lasts for the duration of the page session. Once the tab is closed, the data is lost.
