What is AOP?
In traditional programming, developers write code to implement the desired behavior of their applications. This code is organized into functions, classes, and modules that implement specific functionalities. However, many applications require additional functionality that spans multiple parts of the codebase, such as logging, error handling, and security. These functionalities, often referred to as cross-cutting concerns, can be difficult to manage and maintain when scattered throughout the codebase.
AOP is a programming paradigm that aims to address this problem by separating cross-cutting concerns from the rest of the code. In AOP, developers define aspects, which encapsulate the behavior of cross-cutting concerns, and apply them to specific parts of the codebase using join points and pointcuts.
AOP is very well suited in combination with other programming paradigms, such as object-oriented programming (OOP) and functional programming (FP), to create more modular...
