## What it is
ASimpleCache is a lightweight open-source caching framework for Android and Java that fits in a single Java file. It caches strings, JSON objects and arrays, bitmaps, drawables, serialized Java objects, and byte data with configurable cache paths, sizes, entry limits, and automatic TTL-based expiry.

## Use cases
- cache http api responses on android with expiry
- replace sharedpreferences for storing config values
- cache  strings and bitmaps to disk
- reduce mobile data usage by caching network content
- cache serialized java objects with timeout
- multi-process key-value caching on android

## When to choose
- you need a tiny, dependency-free disk cache for android or plain java
- you want TTL-based expiry for cached network responses
- you need to cache bitmaps, , or serialized objects with a simple key-value API

## When to avoid
- you need an in-memory LRU cache or advanced eviction policies
- you need encrypted or secure caching
- you want an actively developed library with ongoing updates
- you need caching across a large multi-module codebase with advanced configuration

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: caching, serialization
- domain: mobile-development, android-tools, developer-tools
- platform: jvm
- tags: disk-cache, lightweight, key-value-cache, http-response-caching, single-file-library, android
