- A collection of unit rest.
- Utility classes for unit conversions and JSON parsing.
Third-party libraries used in this project:

Known issues
- There are a delay when loading the list and that’s becuase parsing the JSON everytime the list page is opened, and that can be solved through cashing the parsed data in the local database, and using ViewModel.
Future work
- Fix known issues.
- Add UI states
- Add pagination for the cities list.
- Add more test.
- Store the parsed JSON in ROOM database.
- Download the the data folder from the API and extract the JSON.
