Redis - Hashes

Redis Hashes are maps between the string fields and the string values. Hence, they are the perfect data type to represent objects.

In Redis, every hash can store up to more than 4 billion field-value pairs.

Example

redis 127.0.0.1:6379> HMSET howcodex name "redis tutorial" 
description "redis basic commands for caching" likes 20 visitors 23000 
OK 
redis 127.0.0.1:6379> HGETALL howcodex  
1) "name" 
2) "redis tutorial" 
3) "description" 
4) "redis basic commands for caching" 
5) "likes" 
6) "20" 
7) "visitors" 
8) "23000"

In the above example, we have set Redis tutorials detail (name, description, likes, visitors) in hash named ‘howcodex’.
