Description: The Service Object is a design pattern that encapsulates business logic within a class, allowing this logic to be reusable and maintainable. This pattern is commonly used in software applications to separate concerns, facilitating code organization and promoting adherence to principles such as the single responsibility principle. By encapsulating business logic, the Service Object acts as an intermediary between the presentation layer and the data access layer, allowing developers to focus on implementing logic without worrying about the underlying infrastructure details. This approach not only improves code readability but also facilitates unit testing, as service objects can be easily mocked or replaced in a testing environment. Service Objects are particularly useful for handling complex operations that do not fit well within controllers or models, thus promoting a cleaner and more scalable architecture across various programming environments.
