Introduction

The ConversorDeMonedas project began as a straightforward Java application for currency conversion. While functional, it faced common challenges associated with rapid development: a hardcoded API key directly embedded in the source code, and a rigid design that limited conversions to specific pairs, such as USD to others.

In the world of rapid development, the humble README.md often gets overlooked, falling behind as features evolve. Yet, for anyone approaching a new project, it's the very first impression, the crucial guide. A stale README isn't just a minor oversight; it's a barrier to entry, a source of confusion, and a drain on team productivity.
