   The Adapter Design Pattern is a software design pattern that allows the interface of an existing class to be used as another interface.

Some other examples of using the Adapter Design Pattern include getting news feeds from different sources, sending notifications through different channels, using different cache drivers, using different file storage adapters, logger, and database clients.
