## Intent
|
|
Lazy loading is a design pattern commonly used to defer
|
|
initialization of an object until the point at which it is needed. It can
|
|
contribute to efficiency in the program's operation if properly and
|
|
appropriately used.

## Applicability
|
|
Use the Lazy Loading idiom when
|
|
|
|
* eager loading is expensive or the object to be loaded might not be needed at all
|
|
|
|
## Real world examples
|
|
|
|
* JPA annotations @OneToOne, @OneToMany, @ManyToOne, @ManyToMany and fetch = FetchType.LAZY
