What is Aspect Programming?

Category: Programming

1Definition

A programming paradigm that separates cross-cutting concerns from business logic.

2Context

Logging, security, and caching are aspects that cut across many classes.

3Example

AOP can automatically log every method call without adding logging code to each method.

⚠Common Trap

Aspects can make code harder to understand—the behavior isn't visible where it happens.
