Composite Pattern
The Composite Pattern is a structural design pattern that allows you to compose objects into tree-like structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. This pattern enables clients to treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly, simplifying the client code. It is particularly useful when dealing with complex tree structures, such as file systems or organizational charts.
In the Composite Pattern, there are typically two main types of components: leaf nodes and composite nodes. Leaf nodes represent individual objects, while composite nodes can contain other leaf or composite nodes. This structure allows for flexible and scalable designs, making it easier to manage and manipulate groups of objects as single entities.
