§2.7. Proxy Pattern

The primary concern of structural design patterns is how objects are composed together to form new, larger objects. Three themes stand out in structural design patterns: adapting interfaces, adding functionality, and handling collections of objects.

2.1. Adapter Pattern

The Adapter Pattern is a technique for adapting an interface so that one class can make use of another class—that has an incompatible ...
