Stock API Iterator

Description

This Laravel application demonstrates how to use the Iterator pattern to fetch and process paginated stock market data from a simulated API (JSON files in this case). It's designed to handle scenarios where data is retrieved in chunks, and provides an efficient way to iterate over potentially large datasets.
