I have a local browser application which downloads json data from an API. I need to store this data in the browser so that I can compare between the local version and the remote version if there is a change in remote version.
In the past, I have used localStorage for storing data using JSON.stringify to convert the objects to localStorage. But here, the data structures are more complex and i have a few different types of json objects to store. I see that Chrome lists IndexedDB and WebSQL as storage options apart from localStorage. What options do I have to store data which can be more than 5 MB, which has to be persisted across sessions?
P.S. I did a search on stackoverflow and read through a few posts, but could not find any info that answers my question. I also checked out MDN which lists IndexedDB as an option, but it looks quite complex. I would be happy to see if there are any other options which has a simple usability like LocalStorage. What I am building is not a client-facing application, it is for a quick prototype and hence speed and ease of use would be more important than the support for transactions, etc. available in IndexedDB
