Abstract Factory Pattern
The Abstract Factory Pattern is a software creational design pattern that provides a way to encapsulate a group of individual factories that have a common theme without specifying the concrete classes. The client does not know (or care) which concrete objects it gets from each of these internal factories, since it uses only the generic interface of their products. This pattern separates the details of implementation of a set of objects from their general usage and relies on object composition, since object creation is implemented in methods exposed in the factory interface.
