cacache
A high-performance, concurrent, content-addressable disk cache, optimized for async APIs.
Example
use cacache;
use async_attributes;
#[async_attributes::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), cacache::Error> {
let dir = String::from("./my-cache");
// Write some data!
cacache::write(&dir, "key", b"my-async-data").await?;
// Get the data back!
let data = cacache::read(&dir, "key").await?;
assert_eq!(data, b"my-async-data");
// Clean up the data!
cacache::rm::all(&dir).await?;
}
Install
Using cargo-edit
$ cargo add cacache
Minimum supported Rust version is 1.43.0
.
Documentation
Features
- First-class async support, using either
async-std
ortokio
as its runtime. Sync APIs are available but secondary. You can also use sync APIs only and remove the async runtime dependency. std::fs
-style API- Extraction by key or by content address (shasum, etc)
- Subresource Integrity web standard support
- Multi-hash support - safely host sha1, sha512, etc, in a single cache
- Automatic content deduplication
- Atomic content writes even for large data
- Fault tolerance (immune to corruption, partial writes, process races, etc)
- Consistency guarantees on read and write (full data verification)
- Lockless, high-concurrency cache access
- Really helpful, contextual error messages
- Large file support
- Pretty darn fast
- Arbitrary metadata storage
- Cross-platform: Windows and case-(in)sensitive filesystem support

async-std
is the default async runtime. To use tokio
instead, turn off
default features and enable the tokio-runtime
feature, like this:
[dependencies]
cacache = { version = "*", default-features = false, features = ["tokio-runtime", "mmap"] }
You can also remove async APIs altogether, including removing async runtime dependency:
[dependencies]
cacache = { version = "*", default-features = false, features = ["mmap"] }
Experimental support for symlinking to existing files is provided via the "link_to" feature.
