ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Pagination

Okay kiddo, let's talk about pagination! Have you ever read a book with a lot of pages? Sometimes it's hard to read it all at once. That's where pagination comes in.

Imagine you have a really long list of things, like all the toys in your room. Now imagine that you can only see a certain number of toys at a time, like 5 toys. Pagination is when you split that long list of toys into smaller groups of 5 that you can see one at a time.

So, let's say you have 20 toys in your room. If you use pagination, you'll see the first 5 toys on the first page, then you can click or turn to the next page to see the next 5 toys, and so on until you've seen all the toys.

This is really helpful when you have a lot of things to look at or read on a website. It makes it easier to navigate and find what you're looking for without getting overwhelmed.

So, that's pagination. It's like breaking up a big list into smaller parts or pages so you can see everything without getting lost.
