# Introduction
There are three types of storage:

 + **Local:** Data in local storage never expires, even if a site visitor
   closes a page. When the visitor reopens the page later, the data can still
   be retrieved. You can store up to 50kb of data in local storage.

 + **Session:** Data in session storage is available while a site visitor's web
   session is active. The session ends when a visitor closes the browser tab
   or window. When the session ends, all the data in session storage is lost.
   Reloading or restoring the page doesn't affect session storage data. You
   can store up to 50kb of data in session storage.

 + **Memory:** Data in memory storage is available as long a site visitor
   doesn't refresh or close the page. Reloading or restoring the page
   clears the memory storage data. You can store up to 1mb of data in memory
   storage.

 Get hands-on experience with the Frontend Storage API on the [Hello Storage](https://dev.wix.com/docs/coding-examples/getting-started/hello-world/hello-storage.md) example page. 

 To use the Frontend Storage API, import the needed storage types from the
 `wix-storage-frontend` module:

   ```javascript
   import {local, session, memory} from 'wix-storage-frontend';

   // Or one of:

   import {local} from 'wix-storage-frontend';
   import {session} from 'wix-storage-frontend';
   import {memory} from 'wix-storage-frontend';
   ```

 The APIs in `wix-storage-frontend` can only be used in frontend code.

 Some older browsers may not fully support `wix-storage-frontend`. See [Browser compatibility](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Storage#Browser_compatibility) 
for more information.
