Value Object

A Value Object is an object that represents a specific value or attribute, such as a date, money, or a color, where the emphasis is on the data itself rather than identity. Two Value Objects with the same data are considered equal, regardless of their individual instances. They are immutable, meaning once created, their values cannot change. This approach simplifies data management, promotes consistency, and ensures that comparisons are based on content rather than object references. In essence, Value Objects encapsulate and convey meaningful information in a clear, reliable way within a system.
