E.g. (for Java but you can easily transform to other language)
User.builder() .name("John") .age(30) .sex(Sex.MALE) .build() instead of
User user = new User(); user.setName("John"); user.setAge(30); ... You can also easily create Objects for testing with such a builder e.g.
User maleUserOver30() { return User.builder() .sex(Sex.MALE) .age(31) .build(); } Whenever creation of new object requires setting many parameters and some of them (or all of them) are optional.
