Can you give an example of a situation where you applied the Prototype pattern in your practice?

In one of my Java projects, I needed to create many objects with the same structure but slight data differences. Instead of creating each object from scratch, I applied the Prototype pattern — implemented the Cloneable interface and overridden the clone() method. This allowed me to quickly create copies of the original object, saving time and resources.

Example:

class Document implements Cloneable {
    private String content;

    public Document(String content) {
        this.content = content;
    }

    public void setContent(String content) {
        this.content = content;
    }

    public String getContent() {
        return content;
    }

    @Override
    protected Object clone() throws CloneNotSupportedException {
        return super.clone();
    }
}

// Usage
Document original = new Document("Original text");
Document copy = (Document) original.clone();
copy.setContent("Modified text");

This approach helped avoid recreating complex objects and simplified state management.
