## Package org.apache.geode.cache.util Description

Provides utilities for use with the Caching API in the `org.apache.geode.cache.util` package.

Adapter classes are provided for convenience in implementing the CacheListener, RegionMembershipListener, RegionRoleListener, TransactionListener, and CacheWriter interfaces. These adapter classes simply implement the interfaces with empty methods so that subclasses only need implement the methods that are of interest.
