| 12 | About |
|---|
| 13 | ===== |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | Beaker is a web session and general caching library that includes WSGI |
|---|
| 16 | middleware for use in web applications. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | As a general caching library, Beaker can handle storing for various times |
|---|
| 19 | any Python object that can be pickled with optional back-ends on a |
|---|
| 20 | fine-grained basis. |
|---|
| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | Beaker was built largely on the code from MyghtyUtils, then refactored and |
|---|
| 23 | extended with database support. |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | Beaker includes Cache and Session WSGI middleware to ease integration with |
|---|
| 26 | WSGI capable frameworks, and is automatically used by `Pylons |
|---|
| 27 | <http://pylonshq.com/>`_. |

| 30 | Features |
|---|
| 31 | ======== |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | * Fast, robust performance |
|---|
| 34 | * Multiple reader/single writer lock system to avoid duplicate simultaneous |
|---|
| 35 | cache creation |
|---|
| 36 | * Cache back-ends include dbm, file, memory, memcached, and database (Using |
|---|
| 37 | SQLAlchemy for multiple-db vendor support) |
|---|
| 38 | * Signed cookie's to prevent session hijacking/spoofing |
|---|
| 39 | * Cookie-only sessions to remove the need for a db or file backend (ideal |
|---|
| 40 | for clustered systems) |
|---|
| 41 | * Extensible Container object to support new back-ends |
|---|
| 42 | * Cache's can be divided into namespaces (to represent templates, objects, |
|---|
| 43 | etc.) then keyed for different copies |
|---|
| 44 | * Create functions for automatic call-backs to create new cache copies after |
|---|
| 45 | expiration |
|---|
| 46 | * Fine-grained toggling of back-ends, keys, and expiration per Cache object |
