Organizing & Tagging Data
NCache provides multiple mechanisms for logically organizing cache entries. These mechanisms allow applications to associate metadata with cached items and perform retrieval, search, and removal operations without maintaining individual cache keys.
The following organization mechanisms are supported:
- Tags: Associate one or more labels with cache items.
- Named Tags: Associate name-value pairs with cache items.
- Groups: Organize cache items into logical collections.
These features can be used independently or in combination depending on application requirements.
