Question 1

How to add custom types to Cachyr cache?

Accepted Answer

Implement the DataConvertable protocol for your type to convert it to and from Data. The README provides examples, but you'll need to write custom code for complex types beyond the default supported ones.

Question 2

What's the performance impact of Cachyr's serial queues?

Accepted Answer

Cachyr uses serial dispatch queues for thread safety, which can bottleneck performance in high-concurrency scenarios. The project acknowledges this in the ToDo and suggests it's less performant than concurrent solutions.

Question 3

Cachyr vs NSCache for iOS caching?

Accepted Answer

Cachyr offers type safety and disk persistence, which NSCache lacks, making it better for offline data. However, NSCache might be faster for pure in-memory caching due to Apple's optimized implementation.

Question 4

How to limit disk cache size in Cachyr?

Accepted Answer

Cachyr does not have built-in disk size limits; you need to monitor cache usage manually and prune data or implement external logic to enforce limits, as highlighted in the README's ToDo.

Question 5

Can Cachyr handle large files like images efficiently?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Cachyr can store any Data-convertible type, including images, but performance may suffer due to serial queues, and disk usage could grow unchecked without size limits.

Question 6

Is Cachyr compatible with SwiftUI or only UIKit?

Accepted Answer

Cachyr is written in Swift and works with any Apple platform framework, including SwiftUI. You'll need to handle data binding and state management within SwiftUI's reactive paradigm.
