The document discusses client-side storage technologies, particularly WebSQL and IndexedDB, highlighting their features, capabilities, and the evolution of these APIs. It covers the history of storage methods like cookies, local/session storage, and various database modules, detailing their syntactic similarities to SQL and their implementations across browsers. Additionally, it mentions libraries that enhance IndexedDB and the impact of future ECMAScript developments on storage solutions.

– IndexedDB module
– Promises
– Iterators, Generators, Yield support
– Save binary blobs
– De-structuring assignments [x,y] = [1,2]
– Classes as Object Schema](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/clientstorage-120521212352-phpapp02/85/Client-storage-24-320.jpg)
