Working with JSON data

- [Narrator] In this example we're going to take…what we learned in the previous video to see how to use…Python to connect to a real time JSON data feed out…on the internet and process the information.…JSON stands for the JavaScript object notation…and you'll run into this a lot when you're working…with data from various different sources on the internet.…The data feed that we're going to be using…is the US Geological Surveys earthquakes data feed…and I have their home page open here.…You can see that the earthquake data feed is provided…by the USGS and they provide a variety of formats.…
