A comprehensive PHP caching library supporting multiple storage adapters and caching patterns for callbacks, classes, and output.
Laminas\Cache is a general caching system for PHP that enables caching of various patterns like classes, objects, and output using a wide range of storage adapters such as databases, files, and Memcache. It provides a flexible and extensible solution for improving application performance through efficient data caching.
PHP developers building applications that require performance optimization through caching, especially those using or familiar with the Laminas ecosystem or PSR standards.
Developers choose Laminas\Cache for its versatility across different PHP environments, support for multiple storage backends and caching patterns, and ability to be used standalone without a full MVC framework.
Caching implementation with a variety of storage options, as well as codified caching strategies for callbacks, classes, and output
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Supports diverse backends like DB, File, and Memcache, allowing developers to choose the best storage for their needs, as highlighted in the README's feature list.
Implements codified strategies for caching callbacks, classes, and output, enabling optimization across different application aspects without reinventing the wheel.
Can be used independently without laminas-mvc or mezzio by integrating with a PSR-11 container, offering adaptability for various PHP environments.
Includes PHPBench scripts for performance testing of storage adapters, helping developers make informed decisions based on real metrics.
Requires additional packages like laminas-servicemanager and a PSR-11 container for non-framework use, adding initial configuration complexity beyond basic caching needs.
The multitude of adapters and patterns can be overwhelming for developers unfamiliar with the Laminas ecosystem or advanced caching concepts.
Documentation often assumes Laminas or Mezzio usage, with limited examples for standalone setups, making it harder for those outside the ecosystem.
