IndexedDB Users › IndexedDB current usage

I was wondering if there is a way or any report which is showing IndexedDB the number of usage on desktop and mobile browser. Something like how many API calls are made. Just trying to figure if it is used widely or not. Additionally, if anyone knows what is the reason for not being used. Thanks in advance.

No, there is no such official report or market survey published which can give you exact or even approximate market share information.

Just trying to figure if it is used widely or not.

At this point of time, as per available information, it is the future ahead.
W3C have few specifications for web or browser storage like WebSQL, IndexedDB, Web storage.

  1. WebSQL: It was predecessor of IndexedDB, and now deprecated. Since you are starting afresh, you must not consider using the same.
  2. IndexedDB: This is the replacement of WebSQL and future ahead for storing information in browser embedded database.
  3. Web storage: Storage option applicable for small data in form of key-value pair. It is not good for large amount of structured data, in these scenarios you should consider IndexedDB.

If you have to handle files (while is like client side file storage or file handling) then there is an API specs by W3C - File API. It’s possibly the best solution for generated binary data such as images, audio, video and PDFs.

So, you can use IndexedDB API for database storage and File API for file storage.
