Simple Web Request

Json format is heavily used on web APIs to share data across the internet. There are several platforms that have their APIs opened to the world to use*, and start to use them is as easy as this using Dynamo and JsonData!

In this example a web request is sent to MetaWeather searching for 'london'. The response is parsed to a JsonData element (JsonArray in this case) and after looking for the woeid (this api's key Id for London), another web request is sent to get London's weather information. This last response is also parsed to a JsonObject.

This example is quite basic and it just gives a glimpse of what can be done. Getting the right data on the right format is the first step, what use you make of it is up to you to discover!
