What is Ehcache?

Ehcache is a software giant that delivers one of the most popular open source caches. Ehcache is used to accelerate applications by caching data and objects in memory. In this way, the application avoids making unnecessary database calls and instead retrieves data from the cache. Ehcache is compliant with JSR-107, which is a standard for Java Caching. Ehcache is also compatible with all major platforms and operating systems, including Linux, Windows, Solaris, AIX, and MacOS.
