How to store data offline?
- Cookies, Web Storage (local & session)[4]
- New Option: IndexedDB
- A simple document database in your browser
- Built on: Stores, Indexes, Queries[5]
Existing Model
● "World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
dropped Web SQL standardization work
(11/18/2010)" [1]
● hampered - tied to SQLite, not to a standard
interface" [1]
● "With multi-process browsers arriving...
browsers get the ability to do more things in
parallel, and LocalStorage can't keep up." [2]
Rationale For Change
● Asynchronous [3], [5]
● Transactional [3], [5]
● Queryable [3], [5]
(Examples - Jack?)
● Simple! [3], [5]
● But...[3], [6]
Thanks!
