Overview
Memory Cache is a lightweight, high-performance in-memory caching solution for Flutter applications. It provides simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations to store and retrieve data temporarily across different platforms. Designed for speed and simplicity, it operates globally within the app, making it ideal for caching API responses, user preferences, or any transient data that needs fast access. The cache is not persisted across app restarts, ensuring it remains suitable for temporary storage needs.
