🚀 Weather App (Backend)
A simple backend application that provides 3-day weather forecasts for any city using a RESTful API.
📌 Overview
This project is a basic Weather Forecast API built using Spring Boot. It allows users to search for a city and retrieve weather data, demonstrating core backend concepts like CRUD operations, API design, and database integration.
🎯 Features 🌍 Search weather by city name 📅 Get forecast for up to 3 days 🔄 Basic CRUD operations 🗄️ Persistent storage using MySQL ⚡ RESTful API architecture 🛠️ Tech Stack Language: Java Framework: Spring Boot Database: MySQL ORM: JPA (Hibernate) Build Tool: Maven 🏗️ Architecture REST API-based backend Layered architecture: Controller (API layer) Service (business logic) Repository (data access) 🚀 Getting Started Prerequisites Java (JDK 8 or above) Maven MySQL 🔧 Setup & Run Locally
