What is the primary purpose of the ‘localStorage’ API in modern web browsers?

Accepted Answer

localStorage provides a mechanism for storing data as key-value pairs that persist even after the browser is closed and reopened. Unlike sessionStorage, which is cleared when the tab is closed, localStorage remains until explicitly deleted. Option B refers to Service Workers/Cache API, and Option C describes sessionStorage.
