Not any more - iirc it was depreciated.

In the case of IndexedDB, I haven't looked into it, but Mozilla has the following to say about it:

>Note: IndexedDB API is powerful, but may seem too complicated for simple cases. If you'd prefer a simple API, try libraries in See also section that make IndexedDB more programmer-friendly.[0]

I suppose this project could make development easier by allowing developers to share server-side code? And it has the benefit of already having a large userbase.

Oh wow, I never knew WebSQL was deprecated. And yeah IndexedDB is pretty complicated, I've tried working with the API a few times but always abandoned it for simpler solutions.
