Overview

core.cache is a new Clojure contrib library providing the following features:

• An underlying CacheProtocol used as the base abstraction for implementing new synchronous caches

• A defcache macro for hooking your CacheProtocol implementations into the Clojure associative data capabilities.

• Immutable implementations of some basic caching strategies

  • First-in-first-out (FIFOCache)
  • Least-recently-used (LRUCache)
  • Least-used (LUCache)
  • Time-to-live (TTLCache)
  • Naive cache (BasicCache)

• Implementation of an efficient buffer replacement policy based on the low inter-reference recency set algorithm (LIRSCache) described in the LIRS paper

• Factory functions for each existing cache type

core.cache is based on a library named Clache, found at http://github.com/fogus/clache that is planned for deprecation.
