go-caching

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers optimize Go applications by implementing efficient caching and pooling strategies, reducing memory allocations and improving performance for expensive operations.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Expression Caching: Implements an LRU cache for compiled FHIRPath expressions to speed up repeated evaluations.
• Object Pooling: Utilizes sync.Pool for reusable objects like collections, minimizing garbage collection overhead.
• Value Caching: Caches small, immutable integer values to avoid new object creation.
• Use Case: When evaluating complex FHIRPath expressions frequently against many resources, caching the compiled expression significantly speeds up processing. Similarly, reusing collection objects instead of allocating new ones for every intermediate result reduces memory pressure.

Quick Start

Use the go-caching skill to understand how to implement an LRU cache for compiled FHIRPath expressions in Go.
