How do the Object table and JSON output of nearby airports API made by Aviation Edge work?

This article will provide a detailed explanation of the object table and JSON output of the Aviation Edge nearby airports API. Specifically, I will cover the different fields that are included in the object table, and how they are organized. I will also explain the structure of the JSON output, including the different objects and arrays that are used to represent the data. By the end of this article, the reader should have a clear understanding of how the object table and JSON output of this API are structured, and how they can be used to access and manipulate the data.

The name, city name, country name, lat, and lng provides the location of the airport which can be used for mapping and navigation. The timezone information allows for easy scheduling and coordinating of flights and other activities. The type of location is important for knowing the type of transportation available, and whether it is an airport, a railroad station, or a bus station. The distance from the requested location could be useful for trip planning, determining proximity of airports to a certain location, and for calculating travel time and costs. All these information helps people to plan their trip and navigate through the airports with ease.
