Benefit of Asp.net core IMemoryCache

Question

I want to use a memory cache in asp.net core and I'm implementing cache as a Singleton service, now I see IMemoryCache builtin asp.net core.

Do I want to know what is the benefits of IMemoryCache asp.net core against my Singleton service?

Thanks for taking the time and share your ideas

Answer 1

1. You dont need to handle synchronization of threads
2. SetSlidingExpiration is build in memory cache
3. RegisterPostEvictionCallback - callback if data are expired.
4. Limit size of cache
5. Testing, its much easier to inject and mock data then test with singleton.
