http-cache

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the need for efficient data handling in applications by implementing a robust HTTP caching layer, reducing API calls, improving performance, and enabling offline support.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Response Caching: Stores API responses locally to serve them quickly on subsequent requests.
• Cache-Control Parsing: Respects server-defined caching policies (max-age, no-cache, etc.).
• Conditional Requests: Uses ETag and Last-Modified headers to revalidate cached data efficiently.
• Stale-While-Revalidate: Serves stale data immediately while refreshing in the background for a smoother user experience.
• Offline Fallback: Provides cached data even when the network is unavailable.
• Use Case: Integrate this skill into your app's networking layer to automatically cache product catalog data, significantly speeding up load times and allowing users to browse even with a spotty connection.

Quick Start

Add an HTTP caching layer to my project that respects server Cache-Control headers and supports offline fallback.
