First, paste the regex into the 'My regular expression' text box and paste the XML into the 'My test data' text box. If you're still confused, try to visualize the regex. The rest are also of the same form as tag in the original XML, but what's.

We will start by looking for a new weather API. Before we get started, here's what you need to know about what we'll be doing in the next few minutes.
