The '''Indexed Database API''' (commonly referred to as '''IndexedDB''') is a [[JavaScript]] [[application programming interface]] (API) provided by [[web browser]]s for managing a [[NoSQL]] [[database]] of [[JSON]] objects. It is a standard maintained by the [[World Wide Web Consortium]] (W3C).<ref name="standard" />
 
As an alternative to the [[Web storage]] standard, IndexedDB can provide more storage capacity. Web storage has [[Web storage#Storage size|fixed limits]] per [[website]], but IndexedDB limits are "usually quite large, if they exist at all".<ref>{{cite web |title=Working with IndexedDB |url=https://developers.google.com/web/ilt/pwa/working-with-indexeddb |publisher=Google |access-date=19 January 2019}}</ref>
