Hi everybody,
as in the object, can you tell me why Dave uses two separate js file instead of one? Is there a reason? Is it a best practice? Is a good thing to use a single file instead of two? Which are the difference? Thanks

Api is noting just the data you received from a third party(You'll learn about it in Ajax Basics). API data will look something like this only--objects(JSON).
