Description: A Data Transfer Object (DTO) is a design pattern used to transport data between processes, especially in applications that require communication between different layers of software. This object encapsulates the data to be transferred, allowing it to be sent in a structured and efficient manner. DTOs are particularly useful in software architectures where separation of concerns is essential. By using DTOs, the number of network calls is minimized, and performance is optimized, as multiple data points are grouped into a single object. Additionally, DTOs help maintain data integrity and reduce code complexity, allowing developers to focus on business logic without worrying about the details of data transfer. DTOs can be used to facilitate communication between various components of an application, ensuring that data is handled consistently and efficiently throughout the system.
