Why Inversion of Control?

Sept 08, 2011

    This functionality is Sneak Peek status. This means that the APIs may change. We welcome your feedback, ideas, and code, but please use caution if you use this new functionality.

    The Infusion Framework is designed to support highly flexible aggregation of reusable components. The Inversion of Control (IoC) system provides the ability for reusable components to pull dependencies from the environment rather than having to push them in initialisers. Inverting control this way allows users of the framework and components to customize implementations by plugging in alternative subcomponents, without having to modify the parent component code.
