• Spring boot backend: A robust REST API providing structured NBA player statistics, team data, and contract information.
• Angular frontend: A modern, responsive interface built with Angular to manage and visualize the NBA Expansion Draft process.

• Data Upsert Engine: Automated synchronization from JSON sources that updates existing records and inserts new ones based on unique business keys.
• Optimized DTOs: Uses Java Records for memory-efficient, immutable data transfer between layers. Live API Documentation: Integrated Swagger UI for instant endpoint testing and schema exploration.

• Java 21 (LTS version)
• Spring Boot 3.4.5 (Web, Data JPA)
• MySQL (Relational storage)
• Lombok (Code simplification)
• Springdoc OpenAPI (Interactive Swagger documentation)

• Interactive Dashboard: Comprehensive visualization of player statistics and active contracts.
• Expansion Draft Management: Core team selection logic featuring real-time Salary Cap calculations.
• Scalable Architecture: Built strictly following the "Core/Shared/Features" pattern for high maintainability.
• Optimized Performance: Leverages Angular Signals for granular, highly reactive change detection.

• Angular 19+ (Signals, Standalone Components, Control Flow)
• Angular Material (UI Components & Design System)
• TypeScript (Strict typing and Path Aliases)
• RxJS (Asynchronous data stream management)

• Dual-Source Scraping: Merges HTML table parsing (Jsoup) with hidden JSON API consumption.
• Resilience & Anti-Ban System: Built-in mechanisms to respect server rate limits, including random request delays (Jitter) and Exponential Backoff for retries.
• Smart Resume: Automatically tracks scraping progress. If interrupted, the script resumes exactly where it left off without duplicating data.
• Modern Java Architecture: Utilizes Java Records for immutable data models and follows clean code principles (separation of concerns, robust exception handling).
• Automated Data Merging (Read-Merge-Write): Dynamically updates JSON output files without overwriting previously scraped teams.

• Java 14+ (Uses Records for data modeling)
• Maven (Dependency management)
• Jsoup (HTML parsing and API HTTP requests)
• Jackson (FasterXML) (JSON serialization/deserialization)
