# Walker and Elephant

Walker is a frontend program that allows you to interact with a backend: Elephant.

Elephant handles:

* what data should be shown
* how things are executed

Walker handles:

* deciding what is queried
* how to run actions

Therefore the overall Walker-Experience has to be configured for those two programs separately.

## Your Friends:

```
