Session Storage
Session Storage is a web storage API in browsers that allows websites to store data locally in a user's browser for the duration of a page session. It provides a simple key-value storage mechanism that persists only until the browser tab or window is closed, unlike Local Storage which persists across sessions. This makes it ideal for temporary data that should not be retained after the user navigates away or closes the tab.
Developers should use Session Storage when they need to store temporary, session-specific data such as form inputs, shopping cart items, or user preferences that should not persist beyond the current browsing session. It is particularly useful for single-page applications (SPAs) to maintain state during navigation without server requests, and for security-sensitive data that should be cleared when the session ends to prevent unauthorized access from other users on shared devices.
