This crate exists because I need an async (either runtime-agnostic or tokio-based) rust memcached client that uses metadata when deserializing. Current implementations that I know of don't allow me to do that: * rsmc: tokio 1.x, no access to metadata * memcached: async-std, no access to metadata * memcache: synchronous, access to metadata * memcache-async: futures, no access to metadata * async-memcached: tokio 0.2, access to metadata * memcached-rs: synchronous, access to metadata * vmemcached: tokio 1.x, no access to metadata It will most likely break at some point. It's NOT production ready.
