## About
|
||
|
||
<!-- A description of the package and where one can find more documentation -->
|
||
|
||
Provides the abstractions to create and use in-memory and distributed caching in your applications.
|
||
|
||
This library defines how in-memory and distributed caches should be implemented; it doesn’t contain any cache implementation.
|
||
With the abstractions provided in this library, various types of caches can be built and used interchangeably, whether the data is kept in memory, in files, or even across a network.
|
||
|
||
