- OpenWeatherMap API Integration: Utilizes the OpenWeatherMap API to gather real-time weather data.
- Data Parsing with Newtonsoft.Json: Leverages the Newtonsoft.Json NuGet package for seamless parsing of JSON responses from the API.
- .NET Core: The application is built on the .NET Core framework, ensuring platform independence and scalability.
- C#: The primary programming language used for application logic and implementation.
- Newtonsoft.Json NuGet Package: Employed for efficient handling of JSON data.
