Is localStorage/sessionStorage considered NoSQL database?

Question

according to https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Storage_API , there are essentially two Web Storage APIs, localStorage and sessionStorage, they are used to store key/value pairs.

And I learned that according to https://aws.amazon.com/nosql/key-value/

A key-value database is a type of nonrelational database that uses a simple key-value method to store data.

So my question is, is localStorage/sessionStorage considered NoSQL database?

Answer 1

No it's not a database. It's just a variable associated to the window object. In the AWS text, it says "a key value database is a...", but a variable is not a database.
