IO Question: WebSQL is dead or dieing, IndexedDB isn't there yet, what do you think about libraries like Lawnchair?
During my "Mobile Web Development: From Zero to Hero" talk at Google I/O, a question came up about client-side data storage now that WebSQL is deprecated. While IndexedDB is on the horizon, what are developers using today? I shared my preference for Lawnchair, a simple key-value store abstraction that's easy to use and perfect for many situations. While I didn't use it in the IO Reader app due to late-stage project constraints and the sufficiency of localStorage, I generally prefer using such libraries. I'm interested in hearing from others. What data storage wrappers or techniques do you prefer when building web apps?
