Why use adapter classes?

Adapter classes are used to bridge incompatible interfaces in software design, allowing different components to work together without modifying their existing code. They enable developers to create a flexible architecture by providing a layer that translates calls between the client and the service or component it interacts with. This promotes reusability and maintainability, as changes to one component can often be made without affecting others. Additionally, adapter classes simplify the integration of third-party libraries or legacy code into modern systems.
