API Wars

Description

The program is a small WEB application that displays data about the Star Wars universe (such as planets and starships).

The data is retrieved from the external API: SWAPI - The Star Wars API. They are then processed (for example, the units are added), arranged in the table and then are displayed in the browser window. Some information is retrieved without refreshing the page.

The application was created as a task at CodeCool school. A description of the task as well as additional information can be found in Wiki section:
