Following an introduction in the Mediator Pattern:
When a program is made up of a number of classes, the logic and computation
is divided logically among these classes. However, as more of these isolated
classes are developed in a program, the problem of communication between
these classes become more complex. The more each class needs to know about
the methods of another class, the more tangled the class structure can
become. This makes the program harder to read and harder to maintain.
Further, it can become difficult to change the program, since any change may
affect code in several other classes. The Mediator pattern addresses
this problem by promoting looser coupling between these classes. Mediators
accomplish this by being the only class that has detailed knowledge of the
methods of other classes. Classes send inform the mediator when changes occur
and the Mediator passes them on to any other classes that need to be
informed.
