CacheEntry (JCacheX jcachex-core API)

java.lang.Object
- io.github.dhruv1110.jcachex.CacheEntry<V>

Type Parameters:

V - the type of the cached value
```
public class CacheEntry<V>
extends Object
```
Represents a cache entry containing a value along with metadata for cache management.
This class encapsulates both the cached value and important metadata such as creation time, last access time, access count, weight, and expiration information. This metadata is used by eviction strategies, expiration policies, and statistics collection.

Performance Optimizations: This implementation prioritizes performance by using nanoTime for time-sensitive operations and maintaining minimal object overhead.

Since:

1.0.0
