[Storage API][storage], [`localStorage`][local-storage],
[`sessionStorage`][session-storage], and [IndexedDB][indexed-db].
Or you can use the IPC system, which is specific to Electron, to store objects
in the main process as a global variable, and then to access them from the
renderers through the `remote` property of `electron` module:
```javascript
// In the main process.
global.sharedObject = {
someProperty: 'default value'
}
```
```javascript
// In page 1.
require('electron').remote.getGlobal('sharedObject').someProperty = 'new value'
```
```javascript
// In page 2.
console.log(require('electron').remote.getGlobal('sharedObject').someProperty)
```
Alternatively, you can use the IPC primitives that are provided by Electron. To
share data between the main and renderer processes, you can use the
[`ipcMain`](api/ipc-main.md) and [`ipcRenderer`](api/ipc-renderer.md) modules.
To communicate directly between web pages, you can send a
[`MessagePort`][message-port] from one to the other, possibly via the main process
using [`ipcRenderer.postMessage()`](api/ipc-renderer.md#ipcrendererpostmessagechannel-message-transfer).
Subsequent communication over message ports is direct and does not detour through
the main process.
