API Response Caching Middleware for Express/Node

apicache is an ultra-simplified middleware for Express.js and Node.js designed to cache API responses. It supports both an in-memory store and Redis as a backend, allowing developers to define cache durations using plain-english strings (e.g., '5 minutes'). The current stable version is 1.6.3, with version 1.0.0 marking a production-ready release after extensive use. The project appears to have a moderate release cadence, focusing on stability and adding features incrementally, such as `res.write` support and official `compression` integration. Its key differentiator is its ease of use and 'automagic' caching injection into routes, making it a straightforward choice for basic API caching needs compared to more complex caching solutions.
