MemoryJar

MemoryJar is a fast and efficient and thread-safe persistent string caching library that includes capacity management (LRU) and support for age expiration. It utilizes both in-memory and disk storage, supporting asynchronous writes for speed. This library was inspired by the caching mechanism on the Parse iOS SDK.

This caching library is most useful when building a caching system for managing a REST API.
