Can Progressive Web Apps utilize local storage for caching data?
Yes, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) can utilize local storage for caching data. In fact, local storage is one of the key features that make PWAs capable of providing offline functionality. This means that even when the user is not connected to the internet, the app can still load previously stored data from the local storage and function seamlessly. Local storage allows PWAs to store data in the user’s browser and retrieve it whenever needed, eliminating the dependency on a live internet connection for data access. It also enables the app to work reliably in scenarios with poor or unreliable network connectivity.
