The Scraping Story: The Car Repair Team

The Scraper: The Collector of Car Parts
Once upon a time, in a small garage, there was a worker called the Scraper. Every day, he would visit different junkyards, sifting through piles of discarded car parts. He wasn't a mechanic, nor did he know how to fix cars. But his job was incredibly important: he collected valuable parts that could be used for future repairs.

Each day, the Scraper ventured out, gathering essential tools—brake pads, spark plugs, and oil filters—meticulously putting them in his storage room. This storage room, filled with parts, was like a database, organizing all the precious data he gathered from various sources.

For instance, one day, the Scraper found a batch of brake pads. He cataloged the details, from brand to condition, and stored it safely. This was like collecting the latest prices from websites, storing them in a file for future use.

The Backend Guy: The Toolbox Handler
In the same garage, there was another worker—the Backend Guy. He didn’t go out looking for parts like the Scraper, but he had a very important role. He was the one who stood by the big toolbox, where all the parts collected by the Scraper were stored.

Whenever the mechanic—the Frontend—needed a specific tool, they would call out, “I need a 10mm wrench!” The Backend Guy, standing by the toolbox, would find the correct tool and hand it over with precision. He didn't fix the car himself, but he made sure the mechanic had exactly what was needed at the right time.

Just like that, the Backend Guy managed the storage of all the data and ensured it was always ready when the Frontend needed it. When the mechanic asked for the current price of the Euro in Toman, the Backend would retrieve that data and send it in a neat package—a JSON response—ready to be used.

The Frontend Mechanic: The User Interface
And then, there was the Frontend Mechanic. This was the worker who actually worked on the cars, making them run smoothly and look beautiful. The mechanic was the one who interacted with the car, turning the parts provided by the Backend Guy into something functional and eye-catching.

When the mechanic needed a part, they'd shout, "I need a 10mm wrench!" The Backend Guy would respond, handing over the tool, and the Frontend Mechanic would get to work. The mechanic didn’t care how the part got there, as long as it was the right one.

In the same way, the Frontend Mechanic used the data provided by the Backend to create an amazing display for the car's dashboard. They made sure the car (or website) looked stunning, with neatly organized parts (like the prices) and a smooth-running engine (user interface). Whether it was showing prices in a nice table or providing a simple, user-friendly experience, the Frontend Mechanic made sure everything was visually appealing and functional.
