This is a Java implementation of the daemon (server) side of the memcached protocol.

Memcache is a network accessible key/value storage system, often used as a distributed cache.

Jmemcached is functionally equivalent in most respects to (native code) memcached, but is written in pure Java, and is thus suitable for:

• Portable or Java-only distributions of applications
• Embedding inside applications
• Integration testing
