A high-performance .NET caching library providing various cache implementation strategies optimized for different use cases.
- Thread-safe cache implementations
- Multiple caching strategies:
- LRU (Least Recently Used) Cache
- More implementations coming soon...
- Comprehensive benchmarking suite
- High performance and low memory footprint
- Fully tested with high code coverage
- Modern .NET support (NET 9.0)

dotnet add package CacheLab # Coming soon to NuGetusing Cache.Caches;
// Create a new LRU cache with capacity of 1000 items
var cache = new LruCache<string>(capacity: 1000);
// Add items
cache.Put("key1", "value1");
// Retrieve items
string? value = cache.Get("key1");The library includes comprehensive benchmarks for various scenarios:
- Single-threaded operations
- Concurrent access patterns
- Cache eviction scenarios
- Hit/miss ratio analysis
- High contention workloads
To run the benchmarks:
cd benchmarks/Cache.Benchmarks
dotnet run -c Releasedotnet testContributions are welcome! Here's how you can help:
