What are some examples of using a cache API?

Cache APIs are used to store and retrieve data efficiently. For example, in a web application, you can cache API responses to reduce load times.

Can you give me a specific code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example using JavaScript:

if ('caches' in window) {
  caches.open('my-cache').then(cache => {
    cache.add('/api/data');
  });
}

This code checks if the Cache API is available and then opens a cache to store data.

What are the benefits of using a cache API?

The benefits include faster data retrieval, reduced server load, and improved user experience due to quicker response times.

Are there any limitations I should be aware of?

Yes, some limitations include storage size restrictions, potential stale data issues, and the need for proper cache management.
