HTML5 Local Storage VS App Cache Offline Website Browsing

Question

After going through multiple articles, I am still not clear on the difference between Local Storage and App Cache Manifest.

Answer 1

Appcache will even work if you are totally offline and your browser is closed and then you open your browser and type in the URL while still offline — the page loads! Check this site here … load it once while online and then disconnect from the Internet and close your browser … and then reopen browser and try to visit it while still offline.

localStorage needs connection first to load the js code needed to get the data from it.
