Simple Cache is a technical specification and interface standard for PHP applications. It defines a common set of methods for interacting with cache storage, ensuring that different storage implementations can be used interchangeably.
As the PSR-16 implementation standard, it provides a consistent way for independent PHP libraries and frameworks to store and retrieve cached data. This interoperability allows software packages to work with any compliant cache backend without requiring changes to the application code.
The specification focuses on standardizing cache interfaces and interactions to facilitate cross-library data caching and application performance optimization.
