Data Transfer Object

Fleeting

data transfer object (DTO) is an object that carries data between processes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_transfer_object

difference between data transfer objects and business objects or data access objects is that a DTO does not have any behavior except for storage, retrieval, serialization and deserialization of its own data (mutators, accessors, parsers and serializers). In other words, DTOs are simple objects that should not contain any business logic but may contain serialization and deserialization mechanisms for transferring data over the wire.
