A wrapper is a programming or web development technique where a "layer" or "shell" is applied around an existing functionality to extend, simplify, or standardize it. Wrappers are commonly used in software development, web development, and data processing.

Use Cases of Wrappers

  • Software Development: Wrappers encapsulate an existing code library or API to make its usage easier or to make it compatible with other systems.
  • Web Development: In HTML and CSS, wrappers are often used as container elements to structure and style content.
  • Data Processing: Wrappers are used to convert or standardize data from various formats or systems.

Types of Wrappers

  • API Wrapper: A simplified interface that makes a complex API easier to use.
  • CSS Wrapper: A <div> element used as a container for layouts.
  • Library Wrapper: Programs or modules that act as bridges between different programming languages or systems.

Advantages of Wrappers

  • Increased Compatibility: Allows the use of a function or library in another system or programming language.
  • Structured Web Development: In HTML & CSS, a wrapper provides clear structure and supports responsive design.
  • Code Reusability: Reduces development effort, as existing functions can be utilized in new contexts.

Wrappers are a versatile technique in software and web development. They make the use of existing functions easier, improve structure, and enable better integration between systems.
