RxCache is a reactive caching library for Android and Java that caches data models through declarative interfaces, inspired by Retrofit. It decides whether to subscribe to an expensive data source or serve previously cached data based on provider configuration like TTL annotations.

Use cases

• cache API responses in an Android app without a database
• add TTL-based caching to RxJava data streams
• cache expensive network or computation results reactively
• replace a full database with simple data model caching
• configure per-provider caching policies via annotations

When to choose

• you maintain a legacy Android/Java project already using RxCache or RxJava 2
• you need lightweight reactive caching without setting up a database

When to avoid

• starting a new Android project - the repo is unmaintained and recommends Room
• your project uses Kotlin coroutines or Flow instead of RxJava
• you need a full persistence solution rather than a cache
