Deprecation Notice - June 2022
==============================

[](#deprecation-notice---june-2022)

As the underlying PHP Cache library is now deprecated in favour of Symfony Cache (), this library is no longer supported. Symfony cache simplifies a lot of the complexity much like this library did, and there's no good reason to maintain another one.

Caching Made Easy
=================

[](#caching-made-easy)

------------------------------

[](#use-it-with-redis-or-memcached)

```
$cache = new \Vesica\Cacher\Redis($host, $port, $namespace);
// OR
$cache = new \Vesica\Cacher\Memcached($host, $port, $namespace);

$cache->set($key, $value);
$cache->get($key);
$cache->exists($key);

```
