Why did Spring framework deprecate the use of Guava cache?


I want to use spring-cache with guava cache, but I find guava cache has been marked deprecated by spring official document.I wonder to know why, they didn't give some explanations.

Solution

  • Spring project decided to endorse a switch to Caffeine cache.

    Caffeine supersedes the caching support in the Google Guava library with an actively maintained Java 8+ version in standalone form.

    You can find the relevant issue with the decision on Spring's tracker here: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/issues/18370 (SPR-13797)
