One of the most common and used design patterns, it allows an interface to create families of related objects without specifying their concrete classes.

• A customer (who will consume the resource) needs to know only the abstraction of the object creation factory, not its implementation.

• In this way the isolation of concrete classes is obtained, and if it is necessary to change any product (concrete class) or the whole family of classes, it will have a lesser impact on the other parts of the system, which should, in best practice, depend on abstractions, and not implementations.
