+Pass data with multiple attributes in one shot from client to server, to avoid multiple calls to

 ## Explanation
 
 Real world example
 
-> We need to fetch information about customers from remote database. Instead of querying the attributes one at a time, we use DTOs to transfer all the relevant attributes in a single shot.

 Wikipedia says
 
-> In the field of programming a data transfer object (DTO) is an object that carries data between processes. The 
-motivation for its use is that communication between processes is usually done resorting to remote interfaces 
-(e.g., web services), where each call is an expensive operation. Because the majority of the cost of each call is 
-related to the round-trip time between the client and the server, one way of reducing the number of calls is to use an 
-object (the DTO) that aggregates the data that would have been transferred by the several calls, but that is served by 
-one call only.
