What's the difference IoC and Dependency Injection?
Inversion of Control (IoC) and Dependency Injection (DI) are distinct concepts in software development. IoC is a principle that shifts the responsibility of object creation and management outside of the class, while DI is a method to implement this principle. Understanding the difference helps in designing loosely coupled systems.
- ▪Inversion of Control (IoC) is a principle that allows for the inversion of control over object creation and management.
- ▪Dependency Injection (DI) is a specific implementation of the IoC principle.
- ▪Without IoC, classes are tightly coupled, making changes difficult and requiring modifications to the class itself.
