+# ExpiryMap
+
+This Go package provides a map that automatically removes entries after a given expiry delay.
+
+## Features
+
+* The map key can be any comparable type
+* The map value can be any type
+* The map is safe for concurrent use
+* The expiry delay is specified as a `time.Duration` value
+
+## Methods
+
+* NewExpiryMap - creates a new ExpiryMap
+* Get, Set, Delete - standard map operations
+* Len - returns the number of entries in the map
+* Iterate - iterates over all entries in the map
+* Clear - removes all entries from the map
+* Stop - stops the background goroutine that removes expired entries
+
+## Example
+
+See [example/main.go](./example/main.go)
