Editing Creational pattern (section)

==Examples==
Some examples of creational design patterns include:

* [[Abstract factory pattern|Abstract Factory pattern]]: a class requests the objects it requires from a factory object instead of creating the objects directly
* [[Factory method pattern]]: centralize creation of an object of a specific type choosing one of several implementations
* [[Builder pattern]]: separate the construction of a complex object from its representation so that the same construction process can create different representations
* [[Dependency injection|Dependency Injection pattern]]: a class accepts the objects it requires from an injector instead of creating the objects directly
* [[Lazy initialization pattern]]: tactic of delaying the creation of an object, the calculation of a value, or some other expensive process until the first time it is needed
* [[Object pool pattern]]: avoid expensive acquisition and release of resources by recycling objects that are no longer in use
* [[Prototype pattern]]: used when the type of objects to create is determined by a prototypical instance, which is cloned to produce new objects
* [[Singleton pattern]]: restrict instantiation of a class to one object
