EasyCaching is a .NET caching library that unifies basic and advanced caching usage behind a common abstraction. It supports multiple backends such as in-memory, Redis, Memcached, and SQLite, including hybrid (two-level) caching and AOP-style interceptors.

Use cases

• add caching to an asp.net core application
• use redis as a distributed cache in .net
• combine local and distributed caching with a hybrid cache
• cache method results with attributes/interceptors
• swap cache providers without changing application code
• cache data in memory with expiration and stats

When to choose

• you are building ASP.NET Core or .NET services and want a unified caching API
• you need pluggable backends like Redis, Memcached, or SQLite behind one interface
• you want two-level (hybrid) caching with bus-based invalidation
• you prefer attribute/interceptor-based caching over manual cache calls

When to avoid

• you are not on the .NET platform
• you need a standalone caching server rather than a client library
• you require extreme low-level control over cache internals
• your project already standardizes on a single vendor's caching SDK
