Learn Proxy vs Facade design patterns, structurally both are same but intent of both are different. Let me explain the similarity and differences between them.
1. Proxy Design Pattern
provides a surrogate or placeholder for an object to control access to it
What is proxy?
It’s an intermediary between a client object and the target object. responsibility wise it, It receives a call from client object and forwards them to the target Object. Proxy design pattern
2. Facade Design Pattern
Facade object provides simplified higher level interface to a subsystem
3. Key Points of Proxy vs Facade
The Proxy design pattern and Facade design pattern are most important. I tried to basic compare
- The purpose of the Proxy is to add behavior while The purpose of the Facade is to simplify, which may actually involve removing behavior.
- Proxy object represents a singly object while Facade object represents a subsystem of object.
- The client object cannot access target object directly while client object does have ability to access subsystem object.
- Proxy object provides access control to the single target object while Facade object provides simplified higher level interface to a subsystem of objects/components.
