Build a Pokedex in Go

Overview

A REPL, or Read-Eval-Print Loop, is a simple interactive programming environment that takes user input, evaluates it, and returns the result to the user. In this guided project, you'll build a Pokedex-like REPL in Go that uses the PokeAPI to fetch data about Pokemon. It's a great way to put your Go knowledge to the test and learn valuable skills like HTTP networking and data serialization.

REPL

A REPL (Read, Eval, Print Loop) is a simple interactive programming environment that takes user inputs, evaluates them, and returns the results. Learn how to implement one from scratch in Go.

Cache

When making network requests, one of the most common performance optimizations is to cache the results. Implement an in-memory cache for the PokeAPI in Go.
