Intent

It is used to model, represent, and manage a set of persistent objects that are interrelated, rather than representing them as individual fine-grained entities.

Explanation

Real world example

For a console, there may be many interfaces that need to be managed and controlled. Using the composite entity pattern, dependent objects such as messages and signals can be combined together and controlled using a single object.

Name

Composite View

Intent

The purpose of the Composite View Pattern is to increase re-usability and flexibility when creating views for websites/webapps. This pattern seeks to decouple the content of the page from its layout, allowing changes to be made to either the content or layout of the page without impacting the other. This pattern also allows content to be easily reused across different views easily.
