Adapter / Wrapper
Purpose
To translate one interface for a class into a compatible interface. An adapter allows classes to work together that normally could not because of incompatible interfaces by providing it's interface to clients while using the original interface.
Examples
- DB Client libraries adapter
- using multiple different webservices and adapters normalize data so that the outcome is the same for all
