- The builder pattern helps manage objects that contain many individual components that need to be created sequentially. The pattern allows you to reuse a construction multiple times as well since it decouples an object's construction and the object itself.
- Many applications, such as HTML page generators, document converters, and UI form creators, are implemented with the builder pattern.
- The builder pattern uses a director to create an object via multiple steps sequentially, while the factory pattern creates an object in a single step.
