ASP.NET Redis Providers
=======================
This repository contains code for Session State and Output Cache providers for Redis.
1) Azure Redis Session State Provider can be use to store your session state in a Redis Cache rather than in-memory or in a SQL Server database.
2) Azure Redis Output Cache Provider is an out-of-process storage mechanism for output cache data. This data is specifically for full HTTP responses (page output caching). 
3) Azure Redis Output Cache Middleware contains an extensible [middleware](https://docs.microsoft.com/aspnet/core/fundamentals/middleware) project described in the [docs](docs/redis_output_cache_middleware.md) which provides output caching for ASP.NET Core 3.1 - 6.0.
