ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Namespace-based Validation Dispatching Language

Okay kiddo, let me explain this to you in a way that is easy to understand.

Imagine you're in a big playground with lots of kids playing lots of games. They all have their own names and they're all playing different games. Some are playing tag, some are playing hide and seek, and others are playing hopscotch.

Now, imagine that you're the teacher and you have to make sure that each game is being played correctly. You need to check that the kids playing tag aren't cheating and you need to make sure that the kids playing hopscotch are following the rules.

That's kind of what a namespace-based validation dispatching language does. It helps the computer make sure that the different parts of a program are all following the right rules.

But instead of using names like "tag" and "hopscotch," the program uses something called "namespaces." These are like categories that help the computer keep track of all the different parts of a program.

So, if a part of the program is supposed to be doing some math, it will be in the "math" namespace. And if another part of the program is supposed to be reading some data from a file, it will be in the "file" namespace.

The namespace-based validation dispatching language looks at each part of the program and makes sure that it's in the right namespace and following the right rules. That way, everything works together correctly and the program does what it's supposed to do.

Does that make sense, kiddo?
