I think we are dealing with nuances here. To me, not *all *type of objects need full-protection. Consider for example DTOs, or value objects (*struct *in C#) which are often simply containers for properties lumped together. To my eyes, those properties are *encapsulated *into a type even if no information-hiding is happening. Cheers, Stefano Maccaroo,

Encapsulation refers to enclosing something - separating it from the rest. This strongly implies hiding the internals from the outside world. From the object orientated perspective encapsulation has always been used to with information hiding. In fact, separating the two would leave objects vulnerable to unwanted and unmonitored changes - defeating the whole idea of an 'object'. I disagree with the petty distinction made here.

Actually what I usually believed was that, encapsulation is just a way of hiding information, possiblyby using modifiers , like private, protected and internal in(C#) and I was wrong. I never bothered to learn what actually that is. Thanks for the article that made me believe encapsulation is more than just using access modifiers to set their transparency level. Thanks for the nice writeup.
