Composite Pattern

  • Structural pattern
  • The intent of this pattern is to compose objects into tree structures to represent part-whole hierarchies. As such it lets client treat individual objects and compositions of object uniformly : as if they all were individual objects.
    • XML document structure
    • Composing a drawing
  • Composite:- Stores child components and defines behavior for components having children.
  • Leaf :- Leaf represents leaf objects in the composition, and has no children. It defines behavior for primitive objects in the composition.
  • Client:- Manipulates objects in the compositions through the component interface.
  • Makes the client simple 
  • Easy to add new kinds of components – OC principle is maintained
  • It can make the overall system too generic – disadvantage
  • Related Patterns :- Chain of Responsibility, Iterator pattern, Visitor pattern
