# Session Storage API

## Overview

Session Storage API is a part of Web Storage API which allows web apps to store data locally as key/value pairs within the browser's storage.

The data stored using Session Storage API is non-persistent - ie, the stored data in a particular tab is not accessible to other tabs of the same origin, and it gets cleared from the storage if the tab is closed.
