Java: Defensive Copying
Answer
Encapsulation protects an object's internal state by restricting access to its internal components.
Encapsulation allows changes to the internal implementation of a class without affecting the classes that use it. In an e-commerce app, encapsulating an Order class ensures that its order details, like item lists, are not directly accessible and modifiable by external classes, reducing the risk of unintended changes.
