# Retrieve Data from Cache

### Retrieve the value by key name

Every cache segment contains key-value pairs. Both keys and values are _String_ type. The value of a key is retrieved
through the `getCacheValue()` method.

#### Sample Code Snippet 

**Package Imports**

```java
import com.zc.component.cache.ZCCache; 
import com.zc.component.cache.ZCSegment;

```

```java
//Get a Cache Instance
ZCCache cacheobj=ZCCache.getInstance();
//Get an instance of a specific segment with segment ID
ZCSegment segment = cacheobj.getSegment(1510000000054091L);
//Get The value of the cache object using key
String cacheValue= segment.getCacheValue("Val");

```

### Retrieve the cache object by key name

Another variant for retrieving a cache object is to return the corresponding value of a key as a cache object.

> **Note:**
The cache object contains all of its attributes such as key, value, and expiry time.

#### Sample Code Snippet 

**Package Imports**

```java
import com.zc.component.cache.ZCCache; 
import com.zc.component.cache.ZCCacheObject; 
import com.zc.component.cache.ZCSegment;

```

```java
//Get a Cache Instance 
ZCCache cacheobj=ZCCache.getInstance(); 
//Get an instance of a specific segment with segment ID 
ZCSegment segment = cacheobj.getSegment(1510000000054091L); //replace segment id
//Get The Cache object using key 
ZCCacheObject cacheValue = segment.getCacheObject("Name"); // replace cache key

```
