Daily Term: Facade Pattern

Facade Pattern

The Facade Pattern provides a simplified interface to a complex subsystem, hiding its intricacies. For example, a facade for a multimedia library might offer a single playMedia method that internally handles audio, video, and codec setup. Facades improve usability and reduce coupling by providing a single entry point, but they can become a bottleneck if overused, and they might hide necessary details for advanced use cases.
