Weather Vain Inc.

The year is 2005, and a new technique called AJAX is making waves in the global web development community. It seems this AJAX thing allows developers to use JavaScript to fire off HTTP requests that send and retrieve new information without ever reloading the page.

WeatherVain Inc. is ultra intrigued by AJAX, as they think it will allow users to consume the OpenWeatherMap API to display up-to-date weather information about a given city. You've been tasked with validating their idea.

Directions

  1. Head to the OpenWeatherMap API, and validate that it can be used to retrieve the current weather conditions of a given city.
  2. What data types does the API serve?
  3. Hit some of the example routes provided in the documentation. Examine the results.
