Back End Coding

Usage

Run tests

On the root of the project, run the following command:

mvn clean test

Build executable jar file

On the root of the project, run the following command:

mvn clean package

Execute the program

After execute the previous step, you can execute:

java -jar target/geolocation-finder.jar

You'll see the output in STDOUT, and any errors/exceptions that are handled in STDERR

Original Instructions

Please fork this repository and push when you are completed.

Write a program that reads the included file of addresses and finds the geolocation of each address.

Use https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=

*Note that this free api is subject to rate limiting. You will need to handle this with a maximum number of retries being 5. If an address cannot be geolocated or maximum number of retries has exceeded, set the status to "NOT_FOUND"

The application should output a JSONArray of JSONObjects.

Example output

[{
  "address": "address",
  "status": "FOUND"
  "location": {
    "lat": 1234.56,
    "lng": 1234.56
  }
}]

**You may use a JSON library but otherwise stick to what comes with Java JDK

We leave the implementation open ended so you can work comfortably using tech you are used to.
