What is the difference between a Response Object and DTO in software architecture? Say I want to get a list of Products in a catalog.
If ProductDTO is this, how is a Product Response class different? Is a Product Response typically just a wrapper with a datetime, error log, or guid, or what is the prime difference? If there is not an exact or multiple answers, would like to hear top reasons in industry.
public class ProductDto
{
public int ProductId { get; set;},
public string ProductName { get; set;},
public string ProductDescription { get; set;},
public float SalesAmount { get; set;}
}
I tried googling these answers, they did not have specific answer for this question,
Data Objects for each layer(DTO vs Entity vs Response objects)
Update:
Trying to validate answer. Seems Rahul answer is answering difference between Domain object and DTO . Thought Response is a wrapper around DTO, not sure if true-

Posted here now:
From what I've seen, a Response object can contain a Status Field on top of the DTO which indicates if the request has succeeded; or if not, why it has failed.
But I am not quite sure this is a documented norm.
