iOS - Caching and loading images asynchronously

Question

I want an image loading and caching library for iOS that

• loads images asynchronously,
• caches images, with a configurable cache size and LRU behaviour,

Answer 1

I had a look recently for the sort of thing you describe -- either a general data cache, or an image centric one -- and didn't find much of interest. So you may have to roll your own to get all those features.

There's a various blogs posts and things detailing such things, such as http://davidgolightly.blogspot.com/2009/02/asynchronous-image-caching-with-iphone.html.

I take it you've considered the Three20 library? I don't think it would cover your requirements though.
