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 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 Inc. |access-date=19 January 2019}}</ref>
[[Use case]]s for IndexedDB include caching [[web application]] data for [[offline]] availability.<ref>{{cite web |title=Using IndexedDB |url=https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API/Using_IndexedDB |website=MDN |publisher=Mozilla |access-date=19 January 2019}}</ref> Some browser modules, such as [[Web development tools|devtools]] or [[browser extension|extensions]], may also use it for storage.
