Difference between localStorage and sessionStorage in HTML5

localStorage and sessionStorage are two web storage objects provided by HTML5 for storing key/value pairs locally in the user's browser.

The main difference between localStorage and sessionStorage is in their lifespan and scope:

• localStorage: Data stored in localStorage persists beyond the current session and remains saved even after the browser is closed. It has no expiration time unless manually cleared by the user.
• sessionStorage: Data stored in sessionStorage is cleared when the browser tab is closed. It is specific to the current browsing session and is not shared between browser tabs or windows.

In summary, localStorage is used for long-term storage of data that needs to persist across sessions, while sessionStorage is used for temporary storage that is cleared when the browser session ends.
