Adapter Pattern

Intent

• Convert the interface of a class into another interface clients expect.
• Adapter lets classes work together, that could not otherwise because of incompatible interfaces.

Implementation

The classes/objects participating in adapter pattern:

• Target - defines the domain-specific interface that Client uses.
• Adapter - adapts the interface Adaptee to the Target interface.
• Adaptee - defines an existing interface that needs adapting.
• Client - collaborates with objects conforming to the Target interface.
