IoC Container

To understand what an IoC (Inversion of Control) Container is, we first need to understand what Dependency Injection is.

Dependency Injection is a design pattern used for making decoupled software modules (classes, generally speaking). DI pattern implements Dependency Inversion Principle, which is the D in SOLID.

IoC (Inversion of Control) Container (a.k.a. DI Container) is a framework for implementing automatic dependency injection. It manages object creating and its lifetime and also injects dependencies to the class.

In conclusion, an IoC Container implements the DI pattern for us, omitting the need to manually create our own code for decoupling our classes.
