Lists & searches Italian cities, by name and zipcode.

You can find a list of all cities at the following paths:

• /italian/cities/names

You can also check if a specific city name or zipcode exists, passing the name or the zipcode in the url:

• /italian/cities/{name|zipcode}

If the name/zipcode exists, its information is shown, else a 404 error is returned.

You can retrieve each response in HTML or JSON format. For a JSON response you should append a .json to the path, or you should request it with a format=json parameter, e.g.:

• /names.json
• /names?format=json

The cities data is stored and loaded from the file /lib/data/italian/cities.json
