Caffeine is a [high performance][benchmarks], [near optimal][efficiency] caching library based on
Java 8. For more details, see our [user's guide][users-guide] and browse the [API docs][javadoc] for
the latest release.
### Cache
Caffeine provides an in-memory cache using a Google Guava inspired API. The improvements draw on our
experience designing [Guava's cache][guava-cache] and [ConcurrentLinkedHashMap][clhm].
```java
LoadingCache graphs = Caffeine.newBuilder()
.maximumSize(10_000)
.expireAfterWrite(5, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
.refreshAfterWrite(1, TimeUnit.MINUTES)
.build(key -> createExpensiveGraph(key));
```
#### Features at a Glance
Caffeine provides flexible construction to create a cache with a combination of the following features:
* [automatic loading of entries][population] into the cache, optionally asynchronously
* [size-based eviction][size] when a maximum is exceeded based on [frequency and recency][efficiency]
* [time-based expiration][time] of entries, measured since last access or last write
* [asynchronously refresh][refresh] when the first stale request for an entry occurs
* keys automatically wrapped in [weak references][reference]
* values automatically wrapped in [weak or soft references][reference]
* [notification][listener] of evicted (or otherwise removed) entries
* [writes propagated][writer] to an external resource
* accumulation of cache access [statistics][statistics]
In addition, Caffeine offers the following extensions:
* [JSR-107 JCache][jsr107]
* [Guava adapters][guava-adapter]
* [Simulation][simulator]

### In the News
* A short look at what Caffeine brings to your applications.
* [Add a Boost of Caffeine to Your Java][add-a-boost] at [VOXXED][voxxed]
* An in-depth description of Caffeine's architecture.
* [Design of a Modern Cache][modern-cache] ([slides][modern-cache-slides]) at [HighScalability][HighScalability]
* Caffeine is presented as part of a research paper evaluating its novel eviction policy.

On the radar,
* Early discussions with [HBase][hbase], [Cassandra][cassandra], and [Solr][solr]
* Being adopted in the [Neo4j][neo4j] 3.1 and [Infinispan][infinispan] 9.0 releases
* W-TinyLfu implemented by [go-tinylfu][go-tinylfu], [mango-cache][mango-cache], and [ohc][ohc]
