Inversion of control

Inversion of control (IoC) is a design pattern that refers to the process of delegating control of object creation and management to a framework or container. This is achieved through dependency injection (DI), where the framework injects the required dependencies into the objects at runtime. The purpose of IoC is to reduce coupling between modules and provide better extensibility by allowing modules to be easily swapped out or replaced without affecting the overall system. The Spring IoC container is an example of a framework that implements IoC to manage the invocation of modules.From: GearWheels: A Software Tool to Support User Experiments on Gesture Input with Wearable Devices [2022], Electronics, Communications and Networks IV [2015]

Spring Framework: It is an application framework and inversion of control container for the Java platform. The framework's core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the JEE platform. Although the framework does not impose any specific programming model, it has become popular in the Java community as an addition to, or even replacement for the EJB model. The Spring Framework is open source.

S4. IoC-DI refers to the inversion of control (IoC) through dependency injection (DI). In this approach, dependencies are injected into the object rather than created inside the object. This pattern assures a clear separation between the creation of a software object and its use as well as the decoupling between high and low level classes and, thus, assures optimized interaction among the software modules of the same component (design requirements R1 to R3).
