AwesomeCache is a Swift library providing a thread-safe on-disk cache for Apple platforms, backed by NSCache for fast in-memory access with automatic disk persistence. It supports per-object expiry (by seconds or date), expired-object cleanup, and a cacheBlock helper for caching async API responses.

Use cases

• cache API responses on disk in an iOS app
• persistent disk cache for Swift objects with expiry
• store downloaded data locally with a TTL in Swift
• thread-safe in-memory plus disk cache for iOS
• cache-aside wrapper for async network calls in Swift

When to choose

• You are building an iOS, watchOS, or tvOS app in Swift and need simple persistent caching with per-object expiration
• You want NSCache-backed memory performance with disk persistence as a fallback
• You want a small, sync API to cache results of async tasks such as network requests

When to avoid

• You target non-Apple platforms such as Linux or Android, since it depends on NSCache and Apple frameworks
• You need an async or modern-Swift-first API, as the library was built around the Swift 3 era and its last release was in 2021
• You need large-scale or queryable storage, where a database or dedicated cache server is a better fit
