I’m reading a book about DI that always talks about DI frameworks “instantiating an object graph”. Why say it this way rather than “instantiating objects”?
A graph of objects consists of objects that hold references to each other. Another name for a graph in this context is a network.
An IOC system wouldn’t be much use if it forgot to set up the references between the objects! It’s the way the objects automatically get references to other objects they need that is the whole value of an IOC system.
