## What it is
Haneke is a lightweight generic cache library for iOS and tvOS written in Swift, with memory and LRU disk caching for UIImage, NSData, JSON, String, and custom types. It includes zero-config UIImageView/UIButton extensions with background image resizing and decompression optimized for table and collection view cell reuse.

## Use cases
- cache images from urls in an ios app
- add a memory and disk cache for  api responses
- load and resize images asynchronously in a uitableview
- cache arbitrary data like strings or nsdata on disk
- automatically evict cached data on memory warnings
- display appropriately sized images in a collection view without jank

## When to choose
- you need a simple, generic cache layer for an iOS or tvOS app
- you want zero-config image loading with automatic resizing for UIKit scroll views
- you prefer a lightweight library over a full image-loading framework

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained library with recent Swift concurrency support
- you are building for Android or non-Apple platforms
- you need advanced features like animated GIF decoding or SwiftUI-native views
