Local Storage

Local storage is a concept in web development that allows websites to store data as key-value pairs in the browser with no expiration time. This feature can retain data even after the browser is closed and reopened, making it useful for storing information that needs to persist across sessions.

本地存储是在Web开发中的一个概念，它允许网站将数据以键值对的形式存储在浏览器中，而无需设置过期时间。这个特性可以在浏览器关闭并重新打开后仍然保留数据，这对于需要跨会话保留的信息非常有用。

Here’s how you can use local storage in JavaScript:

以下是如何在JavaScript中使用本地存储：

// Store data
localStorage.setItem('username', 'JohnDoe');

// Retrieve data
const username = localStorage.getItem('username');

// Remove data
localStorage.removeItem('username');

// Clear all data
localStorage.clear();

This code will store, retrieve, and remove a username in the local storage, and clear all stored data:

这段代码将存储、检索和删除本地存储中的用户名，并清除所有存储的数据：

// Store data: JohnDoe
// Retrieve data: JohnDoe
// After remove: null
// After clear: null

Local storage can also be used with JSON to store complex data structures:

本地存储还可以与JSON一起使用以存储复杂的数据结构：

// Store an object
const user = { name: 'John Doe', age: 30 };
localStorage.setItem('user', JSON.stringify(user));

// Retrieve the object
const retrievedUser = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('user'));

This code will output:

这段代码的输出将是：

// Stored object: {"name":"John Doe","age":30}
// Retrieved object: {name: "John Doe", age: 30}
