# CacheBox — Standalone Framework ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when using CacheBox **outside of a ColdBox application** — as a pure standalone caching library. For ColdBox-integrated caching (WireBox injection, event/view caching, `@cacheable`), use the `coldbox-cache-integration` skill instead. ## Language Mode Reference Examples use **CFML script** unless noted. For BoxLang replace `component` with `class` and use `cachebox.system` or `coldbox.system` depending on build. --- ## Core Concepts CacheBox is an enterprise-grade, standalone caching aggregator for ColdFusion/BoxLang that: - Aggregates multiple named cache providers under one API - Ships built-in storage backends: RAM (ConcurrentStore), memory-sensitive (ConcurrentSoftReferenceStore), Disk, and JDBC - Provides pluggable eviction policies: LRU, LFU, FIFO, LIFO, custom - Broadcasts a rich event model through cache listeners - Runs embedded in ColdBox or as a pure standalone library > **Namespace**: Standalone = `cachebox.system.*`; ColdBox-embedded = `coldbox.system.*` --- ## 1. Installation (Standalone) ```bash box install cachebox ``` Map the installed folder in `Application.cfc`: ```cfscript this.mappings[ "/cachebox" ] = expandPath( "/path/to/cachebox" ); ``` If using CacheBox **inside ColdBox**, skip installation — it is already included. --- ## 2.
