JSON Country Longitude and Latitude Data
Latitude and longitude are geographic coordinates that are used to specify the position of a location on the surface of the earth. Latitude is a measure of the distance north or south of the equator and is expressed as an angle between 0° and 90°. Longitude is a measure of the distance east or west of the prime meridian and is expressed as an angle between 0° and 180°.
The coordinates of a location can be used to specify its position on a map or to calculate the distance between two locations. They are often used in conjunction with a map projection, which is a system for representing the curved surface of the earth on a flat map.
To find the latitude and longitude of a specific location, you can use a map or a geographic coordinate system, such as the World Geodetic System (WGS84). You can also use online tools or GPS devices to determine the coordinates of a location.

This JSON data structure represents an object with a single property, "countries", which is an array of objects. Each object in the array represents a country and has three properties: "name", "latitude", and "longitude". The values of these properties are strings (for the name of the country) and floating point numbers (for the latitude and longitude coordinates).
