Reliance
Reliance is a lightweight, open-source dependency injection framework for Java applications, designed to simplify object creation and management by decoupling components and promoting modularity. It provides a container that manages object lifecycles and dependencies through annotations or configuration files, enabling easier testing and maintenance. The framework focuses on simplicity and performance, making it suitable for both small and large-scale Java projects.
Developers should learn Reliance when building Java applications that require clean separation of concerns, such as enterprise systems, microservices, or applications with complex dependency graphs, to improve testability and reduce boilerplate code. It is particularly useful in scenarios where manual dependency management becomes cumbersome, as it automates wiring and supports features like scoping and lazy initialization. Using Reliance helps adhere to the Dependency Inversion Principle and facilitates unit testing by allowing easy mocking of dependencies.
