Payloads Factory Creation

What is a Payload Factory?

A Payload Factory is a reusable component responsible for building request payloads dynamically — reading from templates, files, or objects and assembling the final JSON to send.

Example Approach

public class PayloadFactory {
    public static String buildUserPayload(String name, String job) {
        User user = new User(name, job);
        return new Gson().toJson(user);
    }
}

Why This Matters

Centralizing payload creation in one factory means changes to the payload structure (like a new required field) only need to be updated in a single place across the whole suite.
