What is the difference between pojo and dto?

Question

IT terminology

In Google, they describe it in an abstract way that it seems to be the same thing.

Answer 1

POJO is an abbreviation for Plain Old Java Object, which means "plain Java object". And DTO is an abbreviation for Data Transfer Object, that is, "data transfer object". POJO is a broad term, usually used to indicate that a class is not closely related to a particular framework. DTO is a narrower definition from the field of architecture, limiting the scope of the class. As a consequence, DTOs are a subspecies of POJOs.
