This library contains the product documentation for Ehcache, an open source, standards-based cache for boosting performance, offloading your database, and simplifying scalability.

Ehcache is the most widely-used Java-based cache because it's robust, proven, and full-featured. Ehcache scales from in-process, with one or more nodes, all the way to mixed in-process/out-of-process configurations with terabyte-sized caches.

To get started, see Installing Ehcache for General-Purpose Caching for instructions on downloading Ehcache and adding it to your application.
