A set of PHP interfaces and abstractions for caching, extracted from the Symfony framework's cache component. It lets libraries depend on stable, battle-tested caching semantics without coupling to a specific Symfony cache implementation.

Use cases

• decouple my PHP library from specific cache implementations
• type-hint against a standard caching interface in PHP
• make my package interoperable with Symfony cache
• define cache semantics for third-party cache adapters
• avoid depending on the full Symfony framework just for caching

When to choose

• you are building a PHP library that needs caching without hard dependencies
• you want interoperability with Symfony's cache component ecosystem
• you need stable interfaces to program against rather than implementations

When to avoid

• you need an actual cache implementation rather than interfaces
• your project does not use PHP
• you want a framework-agnostic PSR-6/PSR-16 solution only
