Visitor Design Pattern in Java

By | July 8, 2020

In this post, We will talk and learn about the Visitor Design Pattern in Java.

Key Points About Visitor Design Pattern :

  • Visitor Design Pattern falls under behavioral design pattern.
  • This Pattern is mainly used when we have to perform an operation on a group of similar kinds of Objects. This Pattern helps us to move the operational logic from the objects to another class.
  • The main benefit of using this pattern is that if the logic of operation changes then we need to make a change only in the visitor implementation rather than doing modification in all the classes.
  • The second benefit is that adding a new class to the system is easy, it will require change only in visitor interface and implementation and existing classes will not be affected.
