An example of using the Geolocation web service at hostip.info using Scala

This is a quick example of how to use the geolocation web service at http://www.hostip.info/use.html using Scala:

/**
 * an example of how to use the geolocation web service at
 * http://www.hostip.info/use.html
 * using scala
 */
object GetRestContent extends App {

  val url = "http://api.hostip.info/get_json.php?ip=12.215.42.19"
  val result = scala.io.Source.fromURL(url).mkString
  println(result)

}

I don't show how to handle the JSON string in this example, but if you search this website you'll find other Scala JSON examples.
