🧠 What Is rawBody?
Explaining webhooks and middleware in kid-friendly language for civic learners…
Imagine your website is like a post office. Someone sends a package (a webhook), and your server needs to open it and check what’s inside.
But sometimes, the package arrives empty—your server can’t see what’s inside because it didn’t open it the right way.
So what do you do?
You use a helper (called middleware) to open the package before you try to read it.
🧪 Real-Life Analogy
If someone gives you a sealed envelope, you need to open it before reading the letter inside. Middleware is like the person who opens the envelope for you.
