# GeoNames API

This is a lightweight client for the [GeoNames](http://www.geonames.org) API. Huge thanks to them for such a great service!
There are many GeoNames API clients. BUT, most are rewritten versions of a Java API whose interface is a little funny =|
This is a simplified ruby implementation that does not implement the entire API. But, its lightweight and has a nice interface and will be easy to extend :)
