module ActionController #:nodoc:
  # Caching is a cheap way of speeding up slow applications by keeping the result of calculations, renderings, and database calls
  # around for subsequent requests. Action Controller affords you three approaches in varying levels of granularity: Page, Action, Fragment.
  #
  # You can read more about each approach and the sweeping assistance by clicking the modules below.
  #
  # Note: To turn off all caching and sweeping, set Base.perform_caching = false.
  #
  #
  # == Caching stores
  #
  # All the caching stores from ActiveSupport::Cache is available to be used as backends for Action Controller caching. This setting only
  # affects action and fragment caching as page caching is always written to disk.
  #
  # Configuration examples (MemoryStore is the default):
  #
  #   ActionController::Base.cache_store = :memory_store
  #   ActionController::Base.cache_store = :file_store, "/path/to/cache/directory"
  #   ActionController::Base.cache_store = :drb_store, "druby://localhost:9192"
  #   ActionController::Base.cache_store = :mem_cache_store, "localhost"
  #   ActionController::Base.cache_store = MyOwnStore.new("parameter")
