Interface IPrototype<T>

Namespace: WitShells.DesignPatterns.Core

Defines the contract for the Prototype pattern. Classes implementing this interface are responsible for producing a deep copy of themselves, allowing the creation of new objects by cloning an existing configured instance rather than constructing one from scratch.
