Project Structure

Project structure

The project follows a standard Maven directory structure, where source code and test code are separated into src/main and src/test.

The main code is organized into packages based on responsibility, including controller for user interface logic, service for business logic, database for data access, models for domain objects, scraper for external data retrieval, and security for password hashing.

This layered structure improves readability, maintainability, and ensures low coupling between components. The test structure mirrors the main structure, making it easier to systematically test all parts of the system.
