Composite Design

Composite Design is a software pattern that allows you to treat individual objects and groups of objects uniformly. Imagine a company where both employees and departments are handled similarly—each can have tasks or properties. In programming, this pattern lets you build complex structures, like trees, where both individual items (leaves) and groups (branches) share common operations. It simplifies managing and manipulating hierarchical data by letting you work with single objects or collections through the same interface, enhancing flexibility and code maintainability.
