| # IndexedDB |
| |
| IndexedDB is a browser storage mechanism that can efficiently store and retrieve |
| large amounts of structured data with a subset of the |
| [ACID](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACID) guarantees that are generally |
| associated with relational databases. IndexedDB |
| [enjoys wide cross-browser adoption](https://caniuse.com/#feat=indexeddb). |
| |
| The [IndexedDB specification](https://w3c.github.io/IndexedDB/) is |
| [maintained on GitHub](https://github.com/w3c/IndexedDB/). The specification's |
| [issue tracker](https://github.com/w3c/IndexedDB/issues/) is the recommended |
| forum for discussing new feature proposals and changes that would apply to all |
| browsers implementing IndexedDB. |
| |
| Mozilla's [IndexedDB documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API) |
| is a solid introduction to IndexedDB for Web developers. Learning the IndexedDB |
| concepts is also a good first step in understanding Blink's IndexedDB |
| implementation. |
