## Component Details
This subsystem provides a flexible mechanism for managing the persistence and retrieval of Spotify authentication tokens. It is built around an abstract `CacheHandler` interface, which defines the contract for caching operations. Various concrete implementations, such as `CacheFileHandler`, `MemoryCacheHandler`, `DjangoSessionCacheHandler`, `FlaskSessionCacheHandler`, `RedisCacheHandler`, and `MemcacheCacheHandler`, extend this interface to support different storage backends. This design allows authentication flows to utilize a consistent caching mechanism regardless of the underlying storage technology, reducing the need for repeated user authentication and improving application performance.
### Cache Handler Interface
Defines the abstract interface for managing the caching and retrieval of Spotify authorization tokens, requiring concrete implementations to provide `get_cached_token` and `save_token_to_cache` methods.
