In [[Software Engineering]], '''Structural Design Patterns''' are [[Design pattern (computer science)|Design Patterns]] that ease the design by identifying a simple way to realize relationships between entities.

Examples of Structural Patterns include:

* [[Adapter pattern]]: 'adapts' one interface for a class into one that a client expects

** Adapter pipeline: Use multiple adapters for debugging purposes.<ref>{{cite web

* [[Aggregate pattern]]: a version of the [[Composite pattern]] with methods for aggregation of children

* [[Bridge pattern]]: decouple an abstraction from its implementation so that the two can vary independently

** Tombstone: An intermediate "lookup" object contains the real ___location of an object.<ref>{{cite web

* [[Composite pattern]]: a tree structure of objects where every object has the same interface

* [[Decorator pattern]]: add additional fuctionalityfunctionality to aan classobject at runtime where subclassing would result in an exponential rise of new classes

* [[Container pattern]]: create objects for the sole purpose of holding other objects and managing them

* [[Extensibility pattern]]: akaa.k.a. Framework - hide complex code behind a simple interface

* [[Decorator pattern]]: add additional fuctionality to a class at runtime where subclassing would result in an exponential rise of new classes

* [[Facade pattern]]: create a simplified interface of an existing interface to ease usage for common tasks

* [[Extensibility pattern]]: aka. Framework - hide complex code behind a simple interface

* [[FaçadeFlyweight pattern]]: create a simplifiedlarge interfacequantity of anobjects existingshare interfacea tocommon easeproperties usageobject forto commonsave tasksspace

* [[Marker interface pattern|Marker pattern]]: an empty interface to associate metadata with a class.

* [[Flyweight pattern]]: a high quantity of objects share a common properties object to save space

* [[Pipes and filters]]: a chain of processes where the output of each process is the input of the next

* [[Opaque pointer]]: a pointer to an undeclared or private type, to hide implementation details

* [[Proxy pattern]]: a class functioning as an interface to another thing

* [[Pipes and filters]]: a chain of processes where the output of each process is the input of the next

* [[Private class data pattern]]: restrict accessor/mutator access

* Wrapper pattern: See [[Decorator pattern]]
