About

Jaahas.StringCache provides a string cache that can provide a more performant alternative to .NET's built-in string.Intern() method. This library is inspired by Sergey Teplyakov's blog post on string interning performance.

The library offers both custom string caching using ConcurrentDictionary<TKey, TValue> and a wrapper around native string interning, allowing you to choose the approach that best fits your requirements.

More information can be found on GitHub.

How to Use

Using the Shared Instance

using Jaahas;

// Cache strings using the shared instance
var cached1 = StringCache.Shared.Intern("Hello, World!");
var cached2 = StringCache.Shared.Intern("Hello, World!");

// Both variables reference the same string instance
Console.WriteLine(ReferenceEquals(cached1, cached2)); // True

Using Native Interning

using Jaahas;

// Use native .NET string interning
var interned = StringCache.Native.Intern("Hello World");

Advanced Usage

Creating Custom Instances

For scenarios where you need isolated caching or want to manage cache lifecycle:

using Jaahas;

var cache = new StringCache();
var cached = cache.Intern("Custom cache string");

// Check cache size
Console.WriteLine($"Cache contains {cache.Count} strings");

// Clear the cache when needed
cache.Clear();

Note: The Count property returns -1 for the Native instance, and calling Clear() has no effect.
