While `node-cache` is a general-purpose in-memory cache module for Node.js and does not specifically target file content caching, it can be used to manually implement a similar functionality by reading file contents and storing them in the cache. Compared to `read-cache`, `node-cache` offers more flexibility in what can be cached but requires more setup for caching file contents.
This package provides a simple in-memory cache similar to `node-cache`. It can be used to cache any JavaScript object, including file contents. Like `node-cache`, it offers more general caching capabilities but lacks the file-specific optimizations and automatic updates provided by `read-cache`.
