interface FileCacheInterface in Drupal 10

Interface for objects that allow caching file data.

Parsing YAML, annotations or similar data out of files can be a time-consuming process, especially since those files usually don't change and identical data is parsed over and over again.

File cache is a self-contained caching layer for such processing, that relies on the file modification to ensure that cached data is still up to date and does not need to be invalidated externally.
