Forecast.io-CPP

A callback-based C++ wrapper for the Forecast IO API, using the C++11 standard. It is heavily modularised and object-oriented so that multiple listeners can easily be attached to different sections.

Requirements

• Compiler: This was developed primarily using Clang 3.4.1 on an Ubuntu-derived Linux system; There was some minimal usage of GCC as well as MinGW under Windows 7, but I haven't tested these compilers on the newest version of the code.
• json-c 0.11: https://github.com/json-c/json-c/
• For the demo application, cURL 7.35 is also required

Demo

A makefile is included for building the included demo application console-weather: Use the target Debug to build an executable with debugging symbols and Release to build one without. As stated above, this makefile was tested largely only on an Ubuntu-based system, so it may need to be changed to work on your system.

To do

• Add callbacks for forecast data blocks
• Improve build process: E.g. use CMake instead of writing makefile manually
• Add console-writing functionalities for as-yet-unimplemented callbacks
• Make demo program support printing out SI measurements as well
• Make demo writer classes wrap data at terminal edge
