Client-Side Databases

BlazorEssentials provides two client-side database options for Blazor WebAssembly applications, enabling offline-capable, local-first experiences.

IndexedDB

NoSQL key-value storage using the browser’s built-in IndexedDB API. Great for caching, offline data, and simple object storage.

Full SQLite database with SQL queries, transactions, and optional Turso Cloud sync for multi-device experiences.

Feature	IndexedDB	TursoDb
Data Model	Key-value / Document	Relational (SQL)
Query Language	JavaScript API	SQL
Relationships	Manual	Foreign keys
Transactions	Yes	Yes
Cloud Sync	No	Yes (Turso Cloud)
Browser Support	All modern browsers	Requires SharedArrayBuffer
Schema	Dynamic	Defined with attributes

Use IndexedDB for simple caching and document storage. Use TursoDb when you need SQL queries, relationships, or cloud synchronization.
