Ballerina Cache Library

The cache library is one of the standard library modules of the Ballerina language.

This module provides APIs for handle caching in Ballerina. It consists of a default implementation based on the map data structure. It also provides a default cache eviction policy object, which is based on the LRU eviction algorithm.

For more information on all the operations supported by the cache, which include the below, go to The Cache Module.

• put
• get
• invalidate
• invalidateAll
• hasKey
• keys
• size
• capacity

For example demonstrations of the usage, go to Ballerina By Examples.
