Bidirectional transformation

Okay kiddo, let me explain to you what bidirectional transformation means. Imagine you have two toys, one is a car and the other is a truck. You can play with both of them separately, but sometimes you might want to switch them up and have the car become the truck and the truck become the car. That's kind of like what bidirectional transformation does, it takes something and turns it into something else, but then you can also turn it back again.

So, when we talk about bidirectional transformation in computer terms, we're talking about a process that lets you take information from one place, like a database or a file, and turn it into something else, like a web page or a chart. Then, you can also change that new thing back again and have it update the original information automatically.

For example, let's say you have a spreadsheet with a bunch of information about animals. You can use a bidirectional transformation to turn that information into a web page that shows all the animals and their details, like their names and habitats. Then, if you make a change to the information, like adding a new animal or changing a habitat, the web page will automatically update to reflect those changes. And if you make a change on the web page, it will also update the spreadsheet automatically.

So, bidirectional transformation is like a magical toy that lets you switch things up and then switch them back again, all while keeping everything in sync. It helps make things more efficient and easier to work with.
