## Intent
2016-02-21 12:54:40 +01:00
Define a factory of immutable content with separated builder and factory interfaces.

![alt text](./etc/factory-kit.png "Factory Kit")
## Applicability
Use the Factory Kit pattern when
* a class can't anticipate the class of objects it must create
2016-02-15 20:37:16 +01:00
* you just want a new instance of a custom builder instead of the global one
* you explicitly want to define types of objects, that factory can build
* you want a separated builder and creator interface
