# Dependency Injection

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/dependency-injection/  
**APIs profiled:** 1

A design pattern in which objects receive their dependencies from external sources rather than creating them internally, promoting loose coupling, easier testing, and clear composition roots. Effective use of this practice reduces bugs in production and supports a culture of quality-driven development.
