An application can store and retrieve data through the Memcached interface using various APIs that are available. Memcached APIs are available in different programming languages such as Perl, Python, Java, PHP, C, and Ruby. With the help of a Memcached API, an application can interact with the Memcached interface to store and retrieve information.
Memcached stores information in a cache that can be referred to by a single string as a key. This key is used as a reference for the data retrieval and storage. Memcached always serves data requests based on the key as a reference. The cache therefore operates like a large associative array or hash table.
The Memcached interface has a common method across all the programming languages to store and retrieve information, although the language-specific mechanism might be different. Let's look at a few common methods and their usage:
get(key)
: This method is used to fetch information from the cache with respect...
