Crocodile

Crocodile is an in-memory cache written in Go, designed to offer a lightweight and efficient caching solution. Its key feature is the ability to set a memory consumption limit per instance, ensuring optimal resource usage and preventing overconsumption.

Features

• In-memory caching for fast data retrieval
• Configurable memory limit to control cache size
• Simple and intuitive API
• Thread-safe operations

Installation

To install Crocodile, use go get:

go get github.com/Toolnado/crocodile

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use Crocodile:

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "github.com/Toolnado/crocodile"
)

func main() {
    // Create a new cache instance with a memory limit of 64MB
    cache := crocodile.New(64 * 1024 * 1024)

    // Set a value in the cache
    cache.Set("key",[]byte("value"))

    // Get a value from the cache
    value, found := cache.Get("key")
    if found {
        fmt.Println("Found value:", value)
    } else {
        fmt.Println("Value not found")
    }
}

Configuration

You can configure the memory limit when creating a new cache instance:

// Create a new cache instance with a memory limit of 128MB
cache := crocodile.New(128 * 1024 * 1024)
