Fluent Interface

In plain terms

An API design enabling readable, chainable method calls.

Going deeper

A fluent interface lets you chain methods that each return the object, producing readable, sentence-like code. Calls flow naturally one after another.

Under the hood

Common in builders and query DSLs; improves readability but can complicate debugging.

Examples

Builders, LINQ, jQuery chaining, query DSLs, configuration APIs.

Think of it like...

Like giving directions in one flowing sentence rather than choppy separate commands.
