JSON is kind of useless unless it has proper key/values about country-list

[senyaak]

Object.getOwnPropertyNames(json)
Object.keys(json)
for(let key in json) {
  // ...
}

will do the thing - no need for changing the structure

I agree, good idea for next major release, thanks.

@ckwagaba There is https://github.com/umpirsky/country-list/blob/master/data/en/country.php for PHP. No need to json decode.

How did I miss that? Thanks for that.

[kawerewagaba]

It is also easy to iterate over with foreach() in php, of course after a json_decode(), so I guess the format stays.

[TrejGun]

this new format is usefull only if it contains some other data for example flag or list of locales

Object.getOwnPropertyNames(json)
Object.keys(json)
for(let key in json) {
  // ...
}

Or you could use Object.entries example:

Object.entries(json).map(([key, value]) => key + " - " + value);

No seriously. The format of the JSON data is absolutely horrific. Why would anyone think this is a good idea?
