Programming Elixir

Your Turn

• Exercise: OrganizingAProject-6

  In the United States, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration provides hourly XML feeds of conditions at 1,800 locations.^[24] For example, the feed for a small airport close to where I’m writing this is at http://w1.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/KDTO.xml.

  Write an application that fetches this data, parses it, and displays it in a nice format.

  (Hint: You might not have to download a library to handle XML parsing.)
