Evaluating IndexedDB performance on web browsers
Ala’a Al-Shaikh, Azzam Sleit · 2017
HTML5 is the latest markup language that includes features to allow developers to do most of the production work throughout the browsers without relying too much on third-party add-ons. HTML5 is always accompanied with JavaScript that gives those browsers the ability to perform the program logic locally. IndexedDB is a NoSQL database supported by HTML5 that is capable of storing JSON objects. In this paper, we conducted a comparative analysis of IndexedDB performance on four renowned browsers, these are namely: Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Opera. IndexedDB operations are explored in each browser and a statistical analysis is conducted to compare the performance of these operations on each browser. Results show the lead for Internet Explorer with an overall performance of 96.43%, followed by Mozilla Firefox with an overall performance of 64.29%, then Opera with an overall performance of 57.14%, and finally Google Chrome with 32.14%.
