Abstract
The aim of the Builder pattern is to separate the construction of a complex object from the client of that object so that the creation process can create different implementations as required without affecting the client. Thus the client does not have visibility of the object’s construction process. Instead the client provides information on the type of object that is required and what its content might be. The Builder then determines how object is constructed and initialised.
