What is IndexedDB?
Learn about IndexedDB, its uses, benefits, and drawbacks.
Overview
IndexedDB is a browser-based database that lets us store many simple or complex structured data in the browser, including files and blobs. It’s a powerful tool for creating web applications that can work offline. It’s a NoSQL database that stores data using a key-value format, which means that each piece of data is stored in the database with a unique key. This makes it easy to find and retrieve data, even when there’s a lot of data in the database.
IndexedDB also supports indexes, which can speed up queries. For example, if we have a database of products, we could create an index on the product name. This would allow us to quickly find all the products that match a certain name.
