- The first part is the location of the webservice (
http://services.faa.gov
) - The next part is a fragment (

You can request information on a different airport by changing the URL, for example: http://services.faa.gov/airport/status/JFK?format=xml. - Everything after the '?' are arguments. They essentially are also just information for your request. In this example the argument determines the answer format. It was set to XML in the example above. Try a JSON format by following this URL: http://services.faa.gov/airport/status/JFK?format=json
