README

Overview

The Unity Container (Unity) is a full featured, extensible dependency injection container. It facilitates building loosely coupled applications and provides developers with the following advantages:

  • Simplified object creation, especially for hierarchical object structures and dependencies
  • Abstraction of requirements; this allows developers to specify dependencies at run time or in configuration and simplify management of crosscutting concerns
  • Increased flexibility by deferring component configuration to the container
  • Service location capability; this allows clients to store or cache the container
  • Instance and type interception
  • Registration by convention

Installation

Install Unity with the following command:

Install-Package Unity

Unity 5.x loosely follows Semantic Versioning — minor releases may introduce breaking changes. Floating version references should lock in the minor version in addition to the major version:

<PackageReference Include="Unity.Container" Version="5.x.*" />
