Cache Encodings with the .NET Client

Tip	The source code for this tutorial is available on GitHub.

This tutorial demonstrates how to use different cache encodings with the .NET Hot Rod client.

Prerequisites

A running Infinispan server.
.NET 10 or later.

Running the Example

dotnet run --project encoding

Code Walkthrough

Text Cache

Create a cache with text/plain encoding. The builder infers StringMarshaller from the string type parameter.

var textCache = client.NewCache<string>("textCache")
    .WithEncoding(MediaType.PlainText)
    .Build();

await textCache.Put("greeting", "Hello, Infinispan!");
var val = await textCache.Get("greeting");

JSON Cache

Create a cache with application/json encoding and store JSON documents. Keys must be valid JSON values (e.g. a quoted string).

var jsonCache = client.NewCache<string>("jsonCache")
    .WithEncoding(MediaType.JSON)
    .Build();

await jsonCache.Put("\"name\"", "{\"project\": \"infinispan\"}");

Expected Output

Caches ready.

== Cache with text/plain encoding ==
textCache[greeting] = Hello, Infinispan!

== Cache with application/json encoding ==
jsonCache[name] = {"project": "infinispan"}

Caches removed.
