ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Unidirectional Lightweight Encapsulation

Okay, let's imagine you have a toy car. You want to send it to your friend who lives far away, but you're worried that it might get damaged during the journey.

So instead of just sending the car as it is, you put it inside a small, lightweight box to keep it safe. This is like encapsulation in computer terms.

Now, let's say you only want your friend to be able to open the box and play with the car, but you don't want anyone else who might come across the box to be able to do the same. This is where unidirectional comes in.

Unidirectional means that only certain people or devices can access the information inside the box. So in this case, your friend might have a special key or code that allows them to open the box and play with the car, but no one else can do the same.

Overall, unidirectional lightweight encapsulation is like putting something inside a protective box and only allowing certain people to access it while keeping it lightweight and easy to transport.
