1. When adopting a dependency injection framework, what can you expect to gain?

This, of course, differs significantly between frameworks, but typically, you can expect to see the following:

• A reduction in boilerplate code
• Less complexity in setting up and maintaining the dependency creation order

 

2. When evaluating a dependency injection framework, what kind of issues should you being looking out for?

Beyond the gains mentioned previously, my primary criterion is the effect it has on the code; putting it a different way, whether I like how the code looks after adopting the framework.

I would also consider the configurability of the framework itself. Some configuration is expected, but too much can lead to a complicated UX.

The last aspect to consider is the health of the framework project. Is it being actively maintained? Are...
