Data Visualisation: Charting of Country Data using APIs

Data Visualisation:

This mini project stemmed from a lab class at CodeClan in Glasgow. Data was retrieved from the Rest Countries API (https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/all) using an XMLHttpRequest, event listeners and callbacks. Highchart Chart objects (barChart, pieChart and wordCloud) were created using JavaScript then populated from the Rest Countries data using the Highchart API (http://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js).

Built With:

• JavaScipt
• Rest Countries API (https://restcountries.eu/rest/v2/all)
• Highcharts API (http://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js)
