Design Patterns in Java

🌟 Introduction

This repository contains implementations of classic design patterns in Java, following object-oriented design principles. Each pattern includes:

• Java implementation with clear example
• Detailed explanation in its own README

🗂 Pattern Categories

Behavioral Patterns

Patterns that deal with object interaction and responsibility distribution.

Pattern	Description	Implementation
Memento	Implementing the undo mechanisms	View
state	Allowing an object to alter its behavior based on its internal state	View
Iterator	Allowing access the elements of a collection without exposing its underlying representation	View
Strategy	Enables selecting an algorithm's behavior at runtime	View
Template Method	Defines the skeleton of an algorithm in a method, deferring some steps to subclasses	View
Command	Turns a request into a stand-alone object containing all information about the request	View
Observer	Defines a one-to-many dependency between objects so that when one object changes state, all its dependents are notified and updated automatically	View
Mediator	Reduces chaotic dependencies between objects by restricting direct communications between them and forcing them to collaborate only via a mediator object	View
Chain of Responsibility	Allows passing requests along a chain of handlers	View
Visitor	Allows adding new operations to existing object structures without modifying the structures themselves	View

Creational Patterns

Patterns that deal with object creation mechanisms.

Pattern	Description	Implementation
Singleton	Ensures a class has only one instance and provides a global point of access to that instance	View
Factory Method	Provides an interface for creating objects in a superclass, but allows subclasses to alter the type of objects that will be created	View

🚧 Ongoing Development

This repository is under active development, with more design patterns being implemented regularly. Future updates will include additional creational, structural, and behavioral patterns, along with real-world examples, performance considerations, and comparisons between similar patterns. Contributions and suggestions are welcome—feel free to open an issue or submit a pull request! Stay tuned for more patterns like Interpreter, Chain of Responsibility, and Null Object, coming soon.
