Passing Object to DistributedCache set method?

I am using this package Microsoft.Extensions.Caching.Redis. What is the way to pass tModel to set and get from cache.

public class TestModel
{
    public int test1 { get; set; }

    public string test2 { get; set; }
}

var tModel = new TestModel();
tModel.test1 = 1;
tModel.test2 = "abc";

_distributedCache.Set("model", tModel);

I would serialize the data to JSON and persist it as a string:

using Newtonsoft.Json;

// ...

// Set
var jsonData = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(tModel);
_distributedCache.SetString("model", jsonData);

// Get
var jsonData = _distributedCache.GetString("model");
var tModel = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<TestModel>(jsonData);

Notice I used the GetString and SetString extension methods here, rather than the low-level Get and Set method which takes and returns bytes. There are also async methods available.
