How do the Object and Description table and JSON Output of API Ninjas reverse geocoding API function?

In this article, I will clarify the object table and JSON output of API Ninjas reverse geocoding API. Specifically, I will explain the structure and content of the object table, as well as the format of the JSON output and how it relates to the object table. By understanding the object table and JSON output, you will be able to more effectively use and analyze the data provided by the API.

API Object and Description Table

1. country: A 2-digit code representing the country in which the city is located. This code follows the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard.

2. name: The name of the city. This may be the official name of the city, or it may be a commonly used or local name for the city.

The information in the table is useful because it provides a clear and concise description of the objects that are available through the API. By understanding the objects and their meanings, developers can more easily use and analyze the data provided by the API. For example, the country object can be used to filter or group the data by country, while the name object can be used to display the city names to users. Additionally, having a clear understanding of the objects and their meanings can help developers troubleshoot any issues that may arise when using the API.

The JSON output consists of an array of objects, with each object representing a city. Each city object has two properties: country and name. The country property is a 2-digit code representing the country in which the city is located, using the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard. The name property is the name of the city. There are a total of 5 city objects in the array, each with their own country and name properties. The first city object has a country value of "GB" (United Kingdom) and a name value of "London". The second city object has a country value of "GB" and a name value of "City of Westminster". The remaining city objects have similar country and name values.
