The same principle applies to the concept of facade. The pattern hides the non-essential details of the individual interfaces of subsystems that comprise a complex system, such as a compiler. Facade is a structural pattern and consists of a facade class and a set of subsystems it represents through its own simple and unified interface. This way, the users of the facade interface don't have to know all the details of the subsystem interfaces to use their functionality.
