What is encapsulation with example?
Example 1: encapsulation programming
In object-oriented programming, encapsulation refers to the bundling
of data with the methods that operate on that data, or the restricting
of direct access to some of an object's components
Example 2: encapsulation
Encapsulation focus on Private Data
Encapsulation allows the programmer to hide
and restrict access to data.
To achieve encapsulation:
1.Declare the variables with the private access modifier
2.Create public getters and setters that allow indirect
access to those variables
Framework Example:
In my project I created multiple POJO/BEAN classes in order
to manage test data and actual data.
I take JSON from API response and convert
to object of my POJO class.
All the variables are private with getters and setter.
Also in order to store credentials or sensitive data
in my framework I have use encapsulation, configuration reader
also known as property file or excel sheet to hide data
from the outside. I use Apache POI if the data is stored in Excel
in order to extract/read and modify data.
Partial Encapsulation Usage / getters and setters have to be Public
We can provide only getters in a class to make the class immutable.
(Read only) returning private instance variable that’s all
We provide setters in a class to make the class attribute write-only,
and return type is void just initialize the given argument
