+# Simple TTL Cache
+The Simple TTL Cache is an in memory cache with a set expiration time (TTL).
+
+# Usage
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"time"
+
+	simplettlcache "github.com/GuySWatson/simple-ttl-cache"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	// Setup
+	simpleTTLCache := simplettlcache.SimpleTTLCache{}
+	simpleTTLCache.Init(time.Second * 3)
+
+	// Put object into cache
+	simpleTTLCache.Put("color", "red")
+
+	// Get object out of cache
+	simpleTTLCache.Get("color")
+
+	// Update object in the cache
+	simpleTTLCache.Update("color", 1234)
+}
+```
