In Kubernetes controller what's the preferred way to get an item from the informer cache?

I am looking at following 2 examples, in the first example A lister is used to retrieve the item.

In the second example , an index is used.

I am wondering which is the preferred way and way to retrieve an element from the local cache.

The examples you showed above, they both use indexer, if you go deeper you will see it.

For First example (see here)

// Get retrieves the Node from the index for a given name.
func (s *nodeLister) Get(name string) (*v1.Node, error) {
    obj, exists, err := s.indexer.GetByKey(name)
    if err != nil {
        return nil, err
    }
    if !exists {
        return nil, errors.NewNotFound(v1.Resource("node"), name)
    }
    return obj.(*v1.Node), nil
}

For second example

item, exists, err := c.informer.GetIndexer().GetByKey(keyRaw)
