CHAPTER 4
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The system architecture of a currency converter is designed to provide a reliable, scalable, and
user-friendly platform for converting currencies in real-time. This architecture encompasses
various components, including the user interface, application logic, data handling, and
external services. Below is a detailed breakdown of the architecture, focusing on its structure,
components, and interactions.

4.1 OVERVIEW OF ARCHITECTURE

The architecture of the currency converter can be categorized into three main layers:

➢ Presentation Layer: This layer is responsible for the user interface and user experience.
➢ Application Layer: This layer contains the core business logic that processes user
requests and performs currency conversions.
➢ Data Presentation Layer: This layer manages data storage and retrieval, including real-
time exchange rates and historical data.
➢ The presentation layer is the interface through which users interact with the currency
converter. Client-Side Technologies: This layer may utilize HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
frameworks (e.g., React, Angular, or Vue.js) to create a dynamic user experience.
Responsive design principles ensure that the converter is accessible on various devices,
including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
➢ The application layer handles the core functionality of the currency converter. It consists
of several key components:
➢ Business Logic: This component processes user input and executes the currency
conversion logic.
➢ Validation of user inputs (e.g., ensuring valid currency codes and numerical input).
➢ Conversion calculations based on the fetched exchange rates.
➢ Error handling mechanisms to manage exceptions and provide user feedback.
➢ API Integration: The application layer interacts with external APIs to fetch real-time
exchange rates.
➢ Performance Monitoring: Implement tools to monitor application performance, track
API response times, and identify bottlenecks.

Dept of CSE, BGSIT, BG Nagar page 7

CURRENCY CONVERTER 2024-25

➢ Rate Provider API: The converter connects to reliable third-party APIs (e.g., Open
Exchange Rates, Currency Layer, or Forex APIs) to obtain live exchange rates and
historical data.
➢ API Management: This includes handling API requests, managing authentication (if
required), and caching responses to minimize latency and API call limits.
➢ Caching Mechanism: To improve performance and reduce the frequency of API calls, a
caching mechanism stores recent exchange rates temporarily. This enables the system to
serve repeated requests quickly while ensuring that rates are updated regularly.
➢ The data layer is responsible for storing and retrieving information related to currency
conversion. It includes:
➢ Database Management System (DBMS): A relational or NoSQL database is used to store
data, including:
➢ Exchange Rates: Current and historical exchange rates for various currency pairs.
➢ User Preferences: Data related to user settings, such as default currencies or recent
conversion history.
➢ Data Access Layer: This component abstracts the database interactions, allowing the
application layer to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations without
needing to manage the underlying database queries directly.
➢ The architecture also involves several external services that enhance functionality and
user experience.
➢ Notification Services: Users can set alerts for specific exchange rates. This requires
integration with notification services (e.g., email or push notifications) to inform users
when desired rates are reached.
➢ Payment Processing: If the currency converter includes functionality for transactions
(e.g., buying foreign currency), integration with payment processing gateways (e.g.,
PayPal, Stripe) will be necessary for handling payments securely.
➢ Security is paramount in the architecture of a currency converter, particularly when
handling user data and financial transactions. Key security features include:
➢ Data Encryption: All data exchanges between the client and server should be encrypted
using protocols like HTTPS to protect sensitive information.
➢ User Authentication: If the system allows user accounts, secure authentication methods
(e.g., OAuth or JWT tokens) will be implemented to safeguard user sessions.
➢ Input Validation and Sanitization: To prevent injection attacks, the application should
validate and sanitize all user inputs thoroughly.

Dept of CSE, BGSIT, BG Nagar page 8

CURRENCY CONVERTER 2024-25

➢ The deployment architecture involves selecting the appropriate environment for hosting
the currency converter. This may include:
➢ Cloud Hosting: Utilizing cloud services (e.g., AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud) to deploy
the application for scalability and reliability. Cloud services offer benefits like load
balancing, auto-scaling, and managed databases.
➢ Containerization: Using containerization technologies (e.g., Docker) for easy
deployment and management of application components, allowing for consistency across
development, testing, and production environments.
➢ Ongoing monitoring and maintenance are critical to ensure system performance and user
satisfaction.
➢ Error Tracking: Utilize logging and error tracking systems to capture and analyse errors
in real time, facilitating prompt resolution.
➢ User Feedback Mechanism: Incorporate a feedback feature to gather user insights,
which can guide future enhancements and improvements.

CURRENCY CONVERTER 2024-25

The above Figure 5.2.1 shows flowchart of currency converter, Illustrates the step-by-
step process of selecting currencies, entering the amount, fetching exchange rates,
calculating the converted value, and displaying the result to the user.
A currency converter allows users to convert an amount from one currency to another
using real-time exchange rates. In this case, we will focus on three currencies: INR (Indian
Rupee), EUR (Euro), and USD (US Dollar). The process involves user input, validation,
fetching exchange rates, calculation, and displaying the results. The flowchart describes
each step from user interaction to obtaining and displaying the converted amount.
The user is prompted to enter the amount they want to convert. The user selects the
"From Currency" (INR, EUR, or USD). The user also selects the "To Currency" (INR, EUR,
or USD). For instance, the user might want to convert 1000 INR to USD or EUR to INR.
After entering the amount and selecting the currencies, the input is validated: Ensure the
amount is a valid number (greater than zero). Check if both "From" and "To" currencies are
selected. Ensure the "From" and "To" currencies are different (the converter should not
allow the same currency for both fields). Once the input is validated, the system sends a
request to a currency exchange rate API to fetch the latest exchange rate for the selected
currencies. For example, if the user selects INR as the From Currency and USD as the To
Currency, the program fetches the latest INR to USD exchange rate.
After receiving the exchange rate data from the API, the system verifies if the required
exchange rate for the selected currencies is available. If the exchange rate is missing or the
API request fails, an error message is displayed, asking the user to try again later.
If the exchange rate is successfully retrieved, the system performs the conversion using
the following formula: Converted Amount= Amount × Exchange Rate
For example, if the user enters 1000 INR and the exchange rate from INR to USD is
0.012, the converted amount will be: 1000×0.012=12USD
Once the conversion is completed, the converted amount is displayed on the webpage.
If any step fails (such as invalid input or failure), an error message is shown, guiding the
user to correct the issue or retry later.
The flowchart ends with either a successful conversion or an error message, and the user
can make further conversions by repeating the process.

FUTURE ENHANCEMENT

The future of currency converters lies in improving accuracy, functionality, and user
experience through technological advancements. One key enhancement will be AI-driven
predictions. By analyzing historical data and market trends, artificial intelligence can
forecast exchange rate fluctuations, allowing users to make more informed decisions on
when to exchange currencies.
Blockchain integration could also revolutionize currency converters by providing
decentralized, transparent, and secure exchange rates, reducing dependency on central banks
and intermediaries. This would result in faster, more reliable transactions, particularly for
cryptocurrencies and international remittances. Another future enhancement is the
incorporation of multi-lingual and multi-currency support that covers emerging markets and
less common currencies, catering to a wider audience.
Augmented reality (AR) features could enable travelers to scan price tags or receipts in
foreign currencies and instantly see the converted amount in their home currency, adding
convenience during international travel. Lastly, improving security measures, such as
biometric authentication and stronger encryption methods, will help protect users’ sensitive
financial data, ensuring safe transactions across borders. These enhancements will create
more efficient, secure, and user-centric currency converters, addressing evolving global
financial needs.
