Can you explain what pagination means in the context of data processing?

Pagination mechanism is a way of breaking down a large volume of data into smaller parts (pages) for easier processing and display. Instead of loading all data at once, the application requests and shows only a limited number of items at a time, for example, 20 records per page. This helps reduce memory and network load, improve performance, and enhance user experience.

Example: when loading a list of users from an API, you can request 20 users per page, and when scrolling or moving to the next page, load the next 20.
