Data Caching is a technique used to store frequently accessed data in a temporary location, such as memory or a cache, to improve the performance of a system by reducing the need to retrieve the data from its original source, such as a database or a network resource. This can significantly reduce the latency and improve the responsiveness of the system, especially for applications that require real-time access to data.
