Types of Caching

Caching can be implemented in various ways, depending on the specific use case and the type of data being cached. Here are some of the most common types of caching:

1. In-memory caching

In-memory caching stores data in the main memory of the computer, which is faster to access than disk storage. In-memory caching is useful for frequently accessed data that can fit into the available memory. This type of caching is commonly used for caching API responses, session data, and web page fragments

Why are DNS Caching and CDN Caching considered as "types" of caching? Aren't they examples of caching? Is there something unique about these implementations that makes them different from other types of caching?

Is the following a fair way to represent this list:

Types of caching based on storage:
- In-memory cache
- Disk based cache

Types of caching based on location:
- Client side cache
- Server side cache
- Database cache

Examples of caching:
- DNS caching
- CDN caching
