Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AbstractCache.StatsCounter	Accumulates statistics during the operation of a Cache for presentation by Cache.stats().
Cache<K,V>	A semi-persistent mapping from keys to values.
LoadingCache<K,V>	A semi-persistent mapping from keys to values.
RemovalListener<K,V>	An object that can receive a notification when an entry is removed from a cache.
Weigher<K,V>	Calculates the weights of cache entries.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractCache<K,V>	This class provides a skeletal implementation of the Cache interface to minimize the effort required to implement this interface.
AbstractCache.SimpleStatsCounter	A thread-safe AbstractCache.StatsCounter implementation for use by Cache implementors.
AbstractLoadingCache<K,V>	This class provides a skeletal implementation of the Cache interface to minimize the effort required to implement this interface.
CacheBuilder<K,V>	A builder of LoadingCache and Cache instances having any combination of the following features: automatic loading of entries into the cache least-recently-used eviction when a maximum size is exceeded time-based expiration of entries, measured since last access or last write keys automatically wrapped in weak references values automatically wrapped in weak or soft references notification of evicted (or otherwise removed) entries accumulation of cache access statistics These features are all optional; caches can be created using all or none of them.
CacheBuilderSpec	A specification of a CacheBuilder configuration.
CacheLoader<K,V>	Computes or retrieves values, based on a key, for use in populating a LoadingCache.
CacheStats	Statistics about the performance of a Cache.
ForwardingCache<K,V>	A cache which forwards all its method calls to another cache.
ForwardingCache.SimpleForwardingCache<K,V>	A simplified version of ForwardingCache where subclasses can pass in an already constructed Cache as the delegete.
ForwardingLoadingCache<K,V>	A cache which forwards all its method calls to another cache.
ForwardingLoadingCache.SimpleForwardingLoadingCache<K,V>	A simplified version of ForwardingLoadingCache where subclasses can pass in an already constructed LoadingCache as the delegete.
RemovalListeners	A collection of common removal listeners.
RemovalNotification<K,V>	A notification of the removal of a single entry.

Enum Summary

Enum	Description
RemovalCause	The reason why a cached entry was removed.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
CacheLoader.InvalidCacheLoadException	Thrown to indicate that an invalid response was returned from a call to CacheLoader.

Package com.google.common.cache Description

This package contains caching utilities.

The core interface used to represent caches is Cache. In-memory caches can be configured and created using CacheBuilder, with cache entries being loaded by CacheLoader. Statistics about cache performance are exposed using CacheStats.

See the Guava User Guide article on caches.

This package is a part of the open-source Guava libraries.
