Unity is a lightweight, extensible dependency injection container with support for instance and type interception.

Unity is a lightweight, 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
