:description: This article describes key features of the Dependency Injector
framework.
Key features of the ``Dependency Injector``:
- **Providers**. Provides ``Factory``, ``Singleton``, ``Callable``, ``Coroutine``, ``Object``,
``List``, ``Dict``, ``Configuration``, ``Resource``, ``Dependency`` and ``Selector`` providers
that help assembling your objects. See :ref:`providers`.
- **Overriding**. Can override any provider by another provider on the fly. This helps in testing
and configuring dev / stage environment to replace API clients with stubs etc. See
:ref:`provider-overriding`.
- **Configuration**. Reads configuration from ``yaml`` & ``ini`` files, environment variables
and dictionaries. See :ref:`configuration-provider`.
- **Resources**. Helps with initialization and configuring of logging, event loop, thread
or process pool, etc. Can be used for per-function execution scope in tandem with wiring.
See :ref:`resource-provider`.
- **Containers**. Provides declarative and dynamic containers. See :ref:`containers`.
- **Wiring**. Injects dependencies into functions and methods. Helps integrating with
other frameworks: Django, Flask, Aiohttp, Sanic, FastAPI, etc. See :ref:`wiring`.
- **Typing**. Provides typing stubs, ``mypy``-friendly. See :ref:`provider-typing`.
- **Performance**. Fast. Written in ``Cython``.
- **Maturity**. Mature and production-ready. Well-tested, documented and supported.
The framework stands on the `PEP20 (The Zen of Python) <https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0020/>`_ principle:
.. code-block:: plain
Explicit is better than implicit
You need to specify how to assemble and where to inject the dependencies explicitly.
The power of the framework is in a simplicity.
``Dependency Injector`` is a simple tool for the powerful concept.
