It's one of the greatest features of HTML5, known as Web Storage. With the help of a web storage feature, the data is stored locally in the browser on the client-side, on the Web applications. It stores data in the form of key-value pair on the browser. Sometimes, web storage is also known as DOM storage.
Web Storage and cookies have some relationship; due to which storing data with the help of web storage is like storing a cookie, but it's better and fast as compared with the storage of cookies.

- Session Storage: Session Storage uses the Windows.sessionStorage object which holds data for one session, and the data is lost if the window or browser tab will be closed.
