AOP Insights | Sumble

What is AOP?

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) is a programming paradigm that aims to increase modularity by allowing the separation of cross-cutting concerns. These concerns, such as logging, security, and transaction management, often cut across multiple modules, leading to code tangling and scattering. AOP addresses this by enabling developers to define these concerns in separate modules called aspects and then weave them into the core application logic at specific join points (e.g., method calls, exceptions). This results in cleaner, more maintainable, and reusable code.
