List of countries and capitals of the world (json, xml, csv)
For the upcoming release of iCapital 2.0 I needed a list of all the countries and capitals of the world in json format. I searched the web, but couldn’t find a proper solution until I found these lists on GitHub.
Sadly they only contained the countries of the world, so on a boring Sunday night, I’ve extended the list with all the capitals for those countries!
Next to the countries and the capitals, the lists also contain:
-
top-level domain (tld)
-
code ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 (cca2)
-
code ISO 3166-1 numeric (ccn3)
-
code ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 (cca3)
-
currency code(s)
-
calling code(s)
-
alternative spellings
-
relevance
-
region
-
subregion
