Client Side State Management VS Server Side State Management

LEARN 3 : ABOUT IT [ASP.NET]

LESSON 8 : CLIENT SLIDE STATE MANAGEMENT VS SERVER SIDE STATE MANAGEMENT

Client Side State Management:

When we use client side state management:

• The state related information will be stored on client side.
• This information will travel back and forth with every request and response.
• Techniques to manage the state on client and server:
• View State
• Query String
• Hidden Fields
• Cookies

Advantage:

• Relieve the server from the burden of keeping the state related information

Disadvantage:

• Makes the information travel back and forth
• Information can be intercepted by anyone in between
• Sensitive information (credit card number, password)?

Server Side State Management:

When we use server side state management:

• The state related information will be stored on server memory.
• Techniques to manage the state on client and server:
• Application State
• Session State

Advantage:

• Sensitive information is secure

Disadvantage:

• More memory usage on server
