MethodCache.Serialization.MessagePack

Requires .NET 10 and the .NET 10 SDK; use the same package version as MethodCache.

Install this package and MethodCache at the exact same version. Integration packages use Core internals; do not override their exact Core dependency. Our package smoke tests promote NU1608 to a restore error.

Stores MethodCache's distributed cache values (Redis or SQL Server) as compact MessagePack instead of the default System.Text.Json: smaller entries and faster reads.

Install

dotnet add package MethodCache.Serialization.MessagePack

Register

builder.Services.AddMethodCache(mc => mc
    .UseRedis("localhost:6379")
    .UseMessagePack());   // MethodCache.Serialization.MessagePack

Call UseMessagePack() with UseRedis(...) or UseSqlServer(...), in any order; without either it does nothing and logs a warning at startup. Entries written in the other format read as misses and are replaced, so switching needs no flush.

When to use it

  • Values are large or read often from the distributed cache. It has no effect on the in-memory cache, which stores your objects as they are.
  • Types serialize without attributes (contractless resolver). The defaults use LZ4 compression, keep DateTime values as they are, and read stored data with MessagePackSecurity.UntrustedData.
  • Like JSON, the contractless resolver doesn't restore private setters or a derived type returned as its base type. With the default VerifyRoundTrip = true, MethodCache reads every value back before sharing it, and keeps values that don't survive that in memory only, with one warning per method and type.
  • To change them, start from MethodCache's defaults: UseMessagePack(o => o.WithCompression(MessagePackCompression.None)) gets the defaults above and returns the options to use, so the rest stays as it was. Keep UntrustedData and don't enable typeless payloads: the distributed cache must not choose which types get created (see Security).
  • UseMessagePack changes how values are stored, never cache keys. Use ICacheKeyProvider for custom argument parts.

The check cannot detect lost nested derived/private state that was absent from the first serialized representation. Configure the serializer for your model. Increment method Version or DistributedCacheOptions.SerializerVersion when changing the representation.
