Description: The ‘Lazy’ design pattern (Lazy Loading) is a software development technique that delays the initialization of an object until it is actually needed. This approach is particularly useful as it optimizes resource usage and improves application performance. By avoiding the loading of unnecessary objects at initialization time, memory consumption is reduced and the initial response time of the application is accelerated. This pattern can be implemented in various programming languages and environments, and is commonly used in situations where creating an object is costly in terms of time or resources. Key characteristics of the pattern include creating a proxy or a placeholder object that represents the real object, and the logic to load the real object only when it is accessed. This not only enhances efficiency but can also simplify dependency management in complex applications, allowing developers to focus on core functionality without worrying about the premature loading of resources.
