What are some real-world examples of the module pattern in JavaScript?

The module pattern is widely used in JavaScript to create private and public methods. For example, jQuery uses it to encapsulate its functionality.

Can you give me another example?

Sure! The Revealing Module Pattern is used in many libraries, like Backbone.js, to expose only the necessary parts of the module.

How does it help in organizing code?

It helps by keeping related code together, reducing global scope pollution, and making it easier to maintain and test.

Are there any downsides to using the module pattern?

Yes, one downside is that it can lead to larger file sizes if not managed properly, as each module may include its own dependencies.
