Client Session
Client Session is a web development concept that refers to the temporary storage of user-specific data on the client-side (typically in a web browser) to maintain state across multiple requests or page interactions. It enables applications to remember user information, preferences, or authentication status without relying solely on server-side storage. Common implementations include using browser cookies, Web Storage (localStorage or sessionStorage), or client-side frameworks to manage session data.
Developers should learn and use Client Sessions when building interactive web applications that require state persistence, such as e-commerce sites (to track shopping carts), social media platforms (to maintain login status), or single-page applications (SPAs) that need to cache user data locally. It reduces server load by offloading state management to the client, improves performance by minimizing server requests, and enhances user experience by enabling features like remembering user preferences or maintaining authentication across browser sessions.
