This repository holds all interfaces related to PSR-16. Note that this is not a cache implementation of its own. It is merely an interface that describes a cache implementation. You can find implementations of the specification by looking for packages providing the psr/simple-cache-implementation virtual package. Caching is a common way to improve the performance of any project, making caching libraries one of the most common features of many frameworks and libraries. Interoperability at this level means libraries can drop their own caching implementations and easily rely on the one given to them by the framework, or another dedicated cache library. PSR-6 solves this problem already, but in a rather formal and verbose way for what the most simple use cases need. This simpler approach aims to build a standardized streamlined interface for common cases. It is independent of PSR-6 but has been designed to make compatibility with PSR-6 as straightforward as possible.
Features
- An interface that describes a cache implementation
- Find implementations of the specification by looking for packages
- Implementing libraries must support all serializable PHP data types
- The cache interface defines the most basic operations on a collection of cache-entries
- Aims to build a standardized streamlined interface for common cases
- It has methods for dealing with multiple sets of cache entries such as writing, reading or deleting multiple cache entries at a time
