Abstract | The Adapter Design Pattern is a fundamental structural pattern in object-oriented design that enables the integration of incompatible interfaces without requiring changes to existing code. As software systems evolve and grow in complexity, the demand for interoperability between legacy modules, third-party components, and modern architectures becomes increasingly critical. This review paper provides a comprehensive exploration of the Adapter pattern from both theoretical and practical perspectives. It examines the two primary variants—Class Adapter and Object Adapter—as well as the Two-Way Adapter, which facilitates bidirectional communication. Through the use of class diagrams and real-world examples, the paper illustrates the practical applications of each variant and discusses their respective trade-offs. Additionally, it highlights the benefits of using the Adapter pattern, such as enhanced code reusability and system flexibility, alongside potential drawbacks like increased abstraction and the risk of overuse. Best practices for effectively implementing the Adapter pattern in modern software development are also presented. This review aims to deepen understanding of the Adapter pattern’s role in building modular, maintainable, and extensible software systems. |
