PACKAGE

About

<!-- A description of the package and where one can find more documentation -->

Packaged set of simple caching API's derived from those of the same namespace available in .NET Framework since 4.0. This package is intended for use as a bridge when porting .NET Framework applications to .NET.

Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Memory/IMemoryCache is recommended over System.Runtime.Caching/MemoryCache because it's better integrated into ASP.NET Core. For example, IMemoryCache works natively with ASP.NET Core dependency injection.

Use System.Runtime.Caching/MemoryCache as a compatibility bridge when porting code from .NET 4.x to .NET Core.
