```
use Effectra\Cache\Psr16\JsonCache;

// Create an instance of the JsonCache class with the cache directory
$cache = new JsonCache('/path/to/cache/directory');

// Store a value in the cache with a key and optional time-to-live (TTL)
$cache->set('key', 'value', 3600); // Cache value with a TTL of 1 hour

// Retrieve a value from the cache
$result = $cache->get('key');

// Delete a value from the cache
$cache->delete('key');

// Clear the entire cache
$cache->clear();
```
