is it better to store one big JSON object in local storage and append into it other data or use multiple small objects with datas in it? I would like to use it as history storage for any some application (so I think 5MB is enough).
Thanks
It really depends on the way you want to access your data:
If you want to access small parts of your data once in a while, you should put it into small objects. I did a couple of performance test a while ago and found the lookup of on objects in a localStorage filled with a lot of objects quit fast. If you use small objects, you might use less memory because you don’t have to read and parse a big json object.
On the other side, keep in mind that reading localStorage is a blocking function. So if you need to iterate over the object, i might block your whole browser. In that case, it might be better to save the data in a huge chunck and read it at once.
