Crate clache 

Lightweight, path-based caching utilities for various use cases.

Clache provides two mechanisms for caching:

• The GlobalCache requires less boilerplate and can operate on dynamic types. It is more suitable for an asset system, for example.
• LocalCaches are less flexible, but more efficient. Unlike the GlobalCache, they store static types and are more suitable when paths are not linked to the filesystem, as a single path can be distinctly cached for different instances and types.

Choosing a cache

Use a LocalCache when:

• Are only caching one, known type.
• Are making a subsystem or the cache belongs to an object.
• And want more performance.

Use the GlobalCache when:

• You want easy shared access.
• Are caching multiple/dynamic types.
• Or paths are uniquely identifying.

Multi-threading and async support

Both types of caches are thread-safe and async-safe. Almost every function has a blocking and async variant, with the exception of uncache and clear.
