## Intent
|
||||
Provide objects which follow value semantics rather than reference semantics.
|
||||
This means value objects' equality are not based on identity. Two value objects are
|
||||
equal when they have the same value, not necessarily being the same object.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Applicability
|
||||
Use the Value Object when
|
||||
|
||||
* you need to measure the objects' equality based on the objects' value
|
||||
