I heard from the DeviceAtlas site that, we can automate downloading the device repository(da.jason) at specific intervals.
My question is:
Does DeviceAtlas APIs provide a facility to cache the jason file in memory so that file will not be read at every Api.getTreeFromFile("jason_file_path") API call ?
If it does caching, does it provide a way to refresh the cache automatically (at specified interwals) without mannual intervention ?

If you are talking about the Java API, a check is made on the file timestamp, so it should automatically refresh the in-memory cache. In our tests we noticed that using for example tomcat, the update is not always immediate and sometimes takes even a few seconds.
The new version of the API that will come soon, has a better way of exposing the cache and allowing you to manage it.
