ngStorage just wraps localStorage in an angular service, with a different API. One big advantage of doing this is that it is easier to mock localstorage when writing unit tests. The same reason why you use $window instead of javscript native window.

if you are using regular javascript localStorage to save an object in localStorage every time you have to stringify it, because localStorage only accepts string type data.but if you use ngStorage it will do all JSON.stringify() and JSON.parse() for you.
