5. Challenge 5

The web site http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/ offers a search service http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search/ that when given a street name will return occurrences of such street name, each one with characterizing information such as longitude and latitude. In this challenge, you should write an expression that returns a collection of location using for example a pair whose key is the description of the location and the value its latitude and longitude.

For example we did a query with Rue de Paris and we selected two results and they are as follows:

{
'La Rue de Paris, Lainsecq, Auxerre, Yonne, Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, France metropolitaine, 89520, France'->(47.5612874@3.2933713) .
'Rue de Paris, Boulogne-Billancourt, Hauts-de-Seine, Ile-de-France, France metropolitaine, 92100, France'->(48.8416645@2.236876) .
}

5.0.1. Hints:

  • We suggest to ask the server to return JSON.
  • To specify the format, put 'jsonv2' to 'format' in the query.
  • You can also define a limit to the number of results using the parameter 'limit' and put it to '10'.
  • To parse JSON, have a look at the STON class
  • Use the message -> to build a pair.
