Data Transfer Objects (DTOs)

Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) are simple data containers used to transfer information between different parts of a system or between systems. They package data into a structured format, often as objects or records, without containing complex logic or behavior. DTOs help ensure that data is transferred efficiently and consistently, reducing unnecessary data exchange and simplifying communication. Think of them as standardized packages that carry specific pieces of information, making data sharing cleaner and more manageable, especially when different systems or layers within an application need to interact seamlessly.
