Overview
LocalStore is a Flutter/Dart package that offers persistent, file-based JSON storage, functioning as a simple NoSQL database. It enables apps to store and retrieve structured data locally across multiple platforms, including Android, iOS, Web, macOS, Windows, and Linux. Designed for lightweight use cases, it stores data in a single JSON file, making it easy to manage and access without complex setup. Ideal for saving user preferences, cached data, or small datasets that need to persist between app sessions.
