  1. String: the most fundamental data type used to store strings, integers, or floating-point numbers.<\/li>\n
  2. List: a simple string list sorted in the order of insertion.<\/li>\n
  3. Set: a collection of unique strings that are not sorted in any particular order.<\/li>\n
  4. Sorted Set: Similar to a regular set, but each member is associated with a score and sorted based on the score.<\/li>\n
  5. Hash: similar to a dictionary in Python, capable of storing fields and their corresponding values.<\/li>\n
  6. HyperLogLog can be used to estimate the cardinality of a set (the number of unique elements).<\/li>\n
  7. Geolocation: It can store geographic location information, calculate the distance between two points, and retrieve nearby locations.<\/li>\n
  8. Bitmap is a type of image file that can store a large amount of binary data for manipulation through bitwise operations.<\/li>\n
  9. Stream is similar to a message queue, it supports storing messages persistently and allows for retrieving messages in chronological order.<\/li>\n
  10. Module: Supports extending the functionality of Redis through plugins, enabling custom data storage methods.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
