Overview
AOP allows developers to modularize concerns that affect multiple parts of an application, such as logging, security, or transaction management, without cluttering the core business logic.
Key Concepts
- Aspect: A modularization of a concern that cuts across multiple objects.
- Join Point: A point during the execution of a program, such as the execution of a method.
- Advice: Action taken by an aspect at a particular join point.
- Pointcut: A predicate that matches join points.
Benefits
- Cleaner code by removing boilerplate.
- Improved maintainability through better separation of concerns.
