# Quick Cache
[](https://crates.io/crates/quick_cache)
[](https://docs.rs/quick_cache/latest)
[](https://github.com/arthurprs/quick-cache/actions/workflows/ci.yml)
Lightweight and high performance concurrent cache optimized for low cache overhead.
* Small overhead compared to a concurrent hash table
* Scan resistent and high hit rate caching policy
* User defined weight per item
* Scales well with the number of threads
* Atomic operations with `get_or_insert` and `get_value_or_guard` functions
* Atomic async operations with `get_or_insert_async` and `get_value_or_guard_async` functions
* Supports item pinning
* Handles zero weight items efficiently
* Allows for customizable lifecycle hooks (e.g. can be used to implement eviction listeners)
* Doesn't use background threads
* Only trivially verifiable usages of unsafe
* Small dependency tree
The implementation is optimized for use cases where the cache access times and overhead can add up to be a significant cost.
Features like: time to live, iterators, event listeners and others; are partially or not implemented in Quick Cache.
If you need these features you may want to take a look at the [Moka](https://crates.io/crates/moka) crate.
## Examples
Basic usage
```rust
use quick_cache::unsync::Cache;
fn main() {
let cache = Cache::new(5);
cache.insert("square", "blue");
cache.insert("circle", "black");
assert_eq!(*cache.get(&"square").unwrap(), "blue");
assert_eq!(*cache.get(&"circle").unwrap(), "black");
}
```
A cache with custom item weights. In this case according to the string length of the value.
```rust
use quick_cache::{Weighter, sync::Cache};
#[derive(Clone)]
struct StringWeighter;
impl Weighter for StringWeighter {
fn weight(&self, _key: &u64, val: &String) -> u64 {
// Be cautions out about zero weights!
val.len() as u64
}
}
fn main() {
let cache = Cache::with_weighter(100, 100_000, StringWeighter);
cache.insert(1, "1".to_string());
cache.insert(54, "54".to_string());
cache.insert(1000, "1000".to_string());
assert_eq!(cache.get(&1000).unwrap(), "1000");
}
```
Using the `Equivalent` trait for complex keys
```rust
use quick_cache::{sync::Cache, Equivalent};
#[derive(Debug, Hash)]
pub struct Pair(pub A, pub B);
impl Equivalent<(C, D)> for Pair
where
A: PartialEq,
B: PartialEq,
{
fn equivalent(&self, rhs: &(C, D)) -> bool {
self.0 == rhs.0 && self.1 == rhs.1
}
}
fn main() {
let cache: Cache<(String, i32), String> = Cache::new(5);
cache.insert(("square".to_string(), 2022), "blue".to_string());
cache.insert(("square".to_string(), 2023), "black".to_string());
assert_eq!(cache.get(&Pair("square", 2022)).unwrap(), "blue");
}
```
## Benchmarks
Since this crate is performance oriented it needs some comparisons.
That said, benchmarks can be misleading so take everything with a pinch of salt.
Benchmarks performed with [mokabench](https://github.com/moka-rs/mokabench) in a x64 Linux OS + Intel i9-12900H CPU.

Notes:
* LRU+Mutex: hashlink crate + std::sync::Mutex
* SPC1 only includes 1 client to save space, it follows the same trend as other traces.
* Other Moka variants not included to save space, they perform similarly or worse than Mini Moka. [Full results](https://github.com/arthurprs/quick-cache/issues/49#issuecomment-2323322103)
