Basic Example

This example demonstrates the basic usage of httpcache with in-memory caching.

Features Demonstrated

  • Creating an HTTP client with in-memory cache
  • Making cacheable requests
  • Verifying cache hits with X-From-Cache header
  • ETag-based cache validation

Running the Example

From the project root directory:

go run ./examples/basic/main.go

Or from the examples/basic directory:

go run main.go

Expected Output

The first request will fetch from the server, and the second request will be served from the cache. You'll see the X-From-Cache: 1 header on cached responses.

Key Points

  • The in-memory cache is fast but not persistent
  • Responses are cached according to HTTP caching headers
  • The cache automatically handles ETag and Last-Modified validation
  • No configuration needed - works out of the box
