✅ Step 4: Create POJO in script.js

Goal: Convert JSON weather data into a JavaScript object for easy access.

📋 What You’ll Do

Open your script.js file
Copy the JSON weather data into a JavaScript variable
Create a POJO (Plain Old JavaScript Object) structure

🚀 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Open script.js

Open your script.js file in VS Code or your preferred editor.

2. Add Weather Data POJO

Copy your weather data and convert it to a JavaScript object:

// Weather data POJO
var newOrleansWeather = {
  "latitude": 29.95,
  "longitude": -90.07,
  "current_weather": {
    "temperature": 31.2,
    "windspeed": 4.5,
    "weathercode": 1
  }
};

Note: Replace the values with your actual weather data from Step 3.

3. Verify the Structure

Make sure your POJO has:

latitude and longitude properties
current_weather object with nested properties
temperature, windspeed, and weathercode values

💡 What This Accomplishes

Converting JSON data into a JavaScript POJO (Plain Old JavaScript Object) makes the weather information easily accessible in your code. This structured approach allows you to reference specific weather properties like temperature and wind speed using dot notation, making your code more readable and maintainable than working with raw JSON strings.

✅ Check Your Work

script.js contains the weather data POJO
POJO has the correct structure with nested properties
Values match your actual weather data
No syntax errors in the JavaScript
