Apple's Useful Offline Storage Article

An interesting point from the article:

The localStorage and sessionStorage JavaScript objects are functionally identical except in their persistence and scope rules:

localStorage—used for long-term storage. This data persists after the window is closed and is shared across all browser windows.

sessionStorage—used for ephemeral data related to a single browser window. Data stored in the sessionStorage object does not persist after the window is closed and is not shared with other windows.
