A simple, dynamic web application that allows users to search for current weather information by city. This project demonstrates the integration of Java Servlets with a RESTful API to create a responsive, interactive frontend backed by a Java-powered backend.
This application solves the problem of quickly retrieving real-time weather data in a clean and easy-to-use interface. Instead of navigating through complex weather websites, users can input a city name and receive key information such as temperature, humidity, and general weather conditions — all in one place.
- Java (Servlet API): Used for handling backend logic and HTTP requests.
- Apache HttpClient: To call external REST APIs (specifically, OpenWeatherMap).
- HTML & CSS: For the frontend design, creating a responsive and clean user interface.
- JSP (JavaServer Pages): To display dynamic content and bind weather data.
- OpenWeatherMap API: Provides up-to-date weather information based on city name input.
These technologies were chosen to demonstrate full-stack Java web development using core Servlet principles instead of using heavy frameworks, keeping the application lightweight and understandable for beginners.
