Improvement ideas

• Display the number of presents delivered in each city (the data is in the JSON file)
  • Determine Santa's favorite cities based on the number of presents delivered relative to the population
  • Determine the evolution of the weight and volume of Santa's sack during his journey, based on the average weight and volume of a Christmas present (if such data exists anywhere...)
• Compute distance and average speed between two cities, based on latitude & longitude of each city (Haversine formula) (latitude & longitude of each city is in the JSON file)
  • Compute the total distance traveled by Santa on his tour
• Check if Santa's path is optimized or if a different route would be more optimal
• Create a real web application to visualize all these statistics
