Adapter Pattern
Adapter Pattern
A design pattern that allows objects with incompatible interfaces to work together.
Adapter Components
Adapter Components
Includes Target (client's expected interface), Adaptee (original incompatible class) and the Adapter (bridge between them).
Bridge Pattern
Bridge Pattern
A design pattern that decouples an abstraction from its implementation. Allows switching implementations at runtime.

Study Notes
Structural Design Patterns
- Structural patterns describe how to assemble objects and classes into larger structures while maintaining flexibility and efficiency.
Adapter
- Allows objects with incompatible interfaces to work together.
- Adapts an object's interface to match the interface expected by the client.
- Example: using an XML data provider with an application that expects JSON format. This requires an adapter.
Bridge
- Splits a large class or closely related classes into two separate hierarchies (abstraction and implementation).
- Allows independent development of abstraction and implementation.
- This improves maintainability and flexibility.
- Example: Graphical shapes in various colors. A single Shape abstract class can be combined with multiple Color implementations, decoupling them in bridge pattern.
Composite
- Creates a tree structure where individual objects and groups of objects are treated as a single unit.
- Client code interacts with components similarly regardless of whether they are individual or composed of several components.
- Example: Hierarchical military structure or an order with various nested items.
Decorator
- Allows adding new functionality to objects dynamically without modifying their structure.
- Decorators wrap the original object.
- Example: Adding features to a coffee beverage (e.g., milk, cream, sugar).
Facade
- Provides a simplified interface to a complex subsystem.
- Hides the complexity of the subsystem from the client.
- Example: placing orders by phone, which simplifies communication with the underlying components (packaging, payment, etc).
Flyweight
- Reduces the memory footprint of a program by sharing common parts of objects.
- Stores only intrinsic state. Extrinsic state is passed as parameters.
- Suitable for huge numbers of similar objects.
- Example: Browser caching images by sharing common parts.
