Answer
DTOs separate the API representation from the database schema.
Data Transfer Objects (DTOs) are used to transfer data between the client and server without exposing the internal database structure. They help in shaping the data as needed for the API response, allowing flexibility in API design. For instance, a `UserDTO` might only include `username` and `email`, excluding sensitive data like `password`.
