Interceptors

Interceptors are tools or components used in software systems to monitor, modify, or control the flow of data and requests. Think of them as gatekeepers or filters that review information before it reaches its final destination. For example, in a web application, interceptors can check user authentication, log activities, or modify requests and responses to enhance security and functionality. They operate transparently, allowing developers to add useful steps without changing the core logic, ensuring better control and flexibility in handling data exchanges within the system.
