👉 Inter-Object Oriented Programming (IOR) is a programming paradigm that extends traditional object-oriented programming (OOP) by allowing multiple objects to share the same memory space and communicate with each other through well-defined interfaces, often referred to as inter-object references or IOs. Unlike OOP, where objects are typically encapsulated within their own classes and have limited interaction with other objects, IOR promotes loose coupling and high cohesion by enabling objects to interact directly without knowing the internal details of each other. This approach facilitates more flexible and dynamic system designs, particularly useful in scenarios requiring real-time data sharing or complex interactions between components, such as in distributed systems, event-driven architectures, and microservices. IOR supports functional programming concepts like message passing and can enhance modularity and reusability, making it a valuable tool for building scalable and maintainable software systems.
