Soenneker.Reflection.Cache
The fastest .NET Reflection cache
Reflection is slow.
- If you're calling some Reflection code once, consider if creating a cache is necessary.
- If you need to call Reflection repeatedly, this library can help speed things up.
This library is attempting to be a drop-in replacement for System.Reflection and caches the results of Reflection calls (so it's going to allocate more memory). It's thread-safe and supports concurrency.
Installation
dotnet add package Soenneker.Reflection.Cache
This cache can either be added to DI like so:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
services.AddReflectionCacheAsSingleton(); // or AddReflectionCacheAsScoped()
}
and you could access it like:
public class MyService
{
private readonly IReflectionCache _cache;
public MyService(IReflectionCache cache)
{
_cache = cache;
}
}
or you can instantiate it manually:
var cache = new ReflectionCache();
Usage
var type1 = Type.GetType("System.String"); // <-- regular Reflection
var type2 = cache.GetType("System.String"); // <-- cached Reflection
bool areEqual = type1 == type2; // true
