The facade pattern (also spelled façade) is a software design pattern commonly

used in object-oriented programming. Analogous to a façade in architecture, it is


an object that serves as a front-facing interface masking more complex underlying or
structural code. A facade can:

 improve the readability and usability of a software library by masking interaction


with more complex components behind a single (and often simplified) application
programming interface (API)
 provide a context-specific interface to more generic functionality (complete with
context-specific input validation)
 serve as a launching point for a broader refactor of monolithic or tightly-coupled
systems in favor of more loosely-coupled code
Developers often use the facade design pattern when a system is very complex or
difficult to understand because the system has many interdependent classes or
because its source code is unavailable. This pattern hides the complexities of the
larger system and provides a simpler interface to the client. It typically involves a
single wrapper class that contains a set of members required by the client. These
members access the system on behalf of the facade client and hide the
implementation details.
