Hi Final,

DTO(Data Transfer Object):
One of the enterprise application architecture trends, the Data Transfer Object Design Pattern, calls for the use of objects that aggregate and encapsulate data for transfer. A Data Transfer Object functions similarly to a data structure. It does not include any business logic, but serialization and deserialization mechanisms should be included.

DTO stands for Data Transfer Object. This pattern was created with a very well defined purpose: transfer data to remote interfaces, just like web services. This pattern fits very well in a REST API and DTOs will give you more flexibility in the long run. ... Decouple persistence models from API models
