O Composite é um padrão de projeto estrutural que permite compor objetos em uma estrutura semelhante a uma árvore e trabalhar com eles como se fosse um objeto singular.
O Composite se tornou uma solução bastante popular para a maioria dos problemas que exigem a construção de uma estrutura em árvore. O grande recurso do Composite é a capacidade de executar métodos recursivamente em toda a estrutura da árvore e resumir os resultados.

Popularidade:
Exemplos de uso: O padrão Composite é bastante comum no código C#. É frequentemente usado para representar hierarquias de componentes da interface do usuário ou o código que funciona com grafos.
Identificação: É fácil reconhecer o Composite por métodos comportamentais, levando uma instância do mesmo tipo abstrato/interface para uma estrutura em árvore.
Exemplo conceitual
Este exemplo ilustra a estrutura do padrão de projeto Composite . Ele se concentra em responder a estas perguntas:
De quais classes ele consiste?
Quais papéis essas classes desempenham?
De que maneira os elementos do padrão estão relacionados?
