Educational objectives

This template supports the structured discussion of real data sources in computer science education. The focus is on building competence in API-based data processing, statistical analysis of stock price trends, and graphical representation of structured data. The connection between modeling data structures, their algorithmic processing, and subsequent implementation in Java is made clear.

Key competencies

Retrieve JSON data from a web API and process it further in Java
Structured analysis of stock price trends using statistical methods
Calculate averages and filter stock price changes
Identify highest and lowest stock prices
Text-based representation of stock price trends in the console
Graphical representation of stock data on a Canvas
Comparison of multiple stock trends and highlighting extreme points
