Show HN: Simple JavaScript Weather Plugin with JQuery Dependencies Removed

I was working on a project and found a plugin that was perfect. Unfortunately my project didn't use jQuery and the plugin was built on jQuery. I didn't want to add another dependency. I noticed the plugin was licensed under MIT, so I thought I would fork it and refactor it to remove jQuery dependencies, which I did. Thought I would share.

I think the demo would be more readable when you would use JSON.stringify(data, undefined, 4) a put it in PRE element, with flat structure in plaintext it's indented randomly depending on the name of attribute which is kida kard to read, with JSON you see what belongs where, not to mention the rendering code would be much simpler, like this:

reallySimpleWeather.weather({location: 'Bend, OR', woeid: '', unit: 'f', success: function(w) { console.log(document.getElementById('weather').innerHTML = JSON.stringify(w, undefined, 4))} }); document.getElementById('weather').style.whiteSpace='pre';

I'm using the jquery simpleweather for a chrome extension at the moment. This looks like a direct replacement. I'm using jquery elsewhere in the extension, but as long as this works the same I see no reason not to switch, one fewer thing to worry about breaking my extension in the future.

I don't see any reason why jquery should have been in the original library in the first place and you can still use jquery on the front end with this, so really a good improvement. kudos!

I like it... will have to look and play around with it. Any chance it could be hooked up to utilize the WeatherUnderground API?
