What does Vo stands for? [closed]

Question

I found this abbreviation in many projects it is a folder referring to database models in an active record context

but What does it mean exactly ?

Answer 1

VO normally stands for Value Object.

In Domain Driven Development (DDD), value objects represent one or more pieces of information, but do not contain an identity. For instance, an Address object containing street address, city, state, and zip would be considered a value object.

Answer 2

VO stands for Value Object. The difference from normal objects is that value objects' only purpose is to store values in a convenient way. In short that means that a value object just contains a bunch of properties and no methods.
